    The document discusses techniques for analyzing traffic flow, including space-time diagrams and developing analytical solutions. It provides an example of using a space-time diagram to derive relationships for analyzing the capacity of an airport runway used for landings. Specifically, it notes that runway capacity depends on air traffic rules requiring minimum longitudinal distance separations between aircraft. It then shows how to calculate the time separation between two aircraft at the runway threshold based on their speeds and the minimum distance separation rule.

    CHAPTER 6 : (TRAFFIC – ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES)

    INTRODUCTION
    The analysis of traffic flow is the basis for design of transportation system operating strategies, traffic control systems,
    and certain physical features of transportation systems. Several issues are involved. These include the interaction of traffic
    events in space and time, the analysis if travel times under various conditions, and relationships among traffic flow states
    such as flow, speed, and density. A variety of mathematical techniques are used in the analyzing space-time relationships,
    graphical and mathematical techniques for analyzing traffic queues and delays, and analysis of transportation networks.

    SPACE-TIME RELATIONSHIP
    Many traffic analysis problems involve the analysis of the motion of vehicles
    Or Traffic states in space and time. Such problems may vary a great deal in
    Complexity. When such motion takes place along a single linear facility
    Such as roadway or railway, it can often be represented by a graph known
    As space- time diagram. When it occurs in complicated transportation
    Networks, no such simple approach is possible and satisfactory solutions to
    Space- time problems may not yet exist. Space- Time diagrams have distance
    (or, more accurately, location) as one axis and time as the other axis.
    It is a matter of convention as to which axis represents time and which
    distance, and there are no firm rules; in what follows, either time or distance
    may be represented by the horizontal axis, depending on the situation
    .The figure represents a Simple Space- Time Diagram. The curve A-A
    represents the position of a vehicle (or some other event) at all times
    between t1 and t2.Such a curve is known as a Trajectory. In cases in
    which distance is the vertical axis, the slope of the trajectory is the speed
    of the vehicle; in cases in which distance is the horizontal axis, the
    reciprocal of speed (sometimes known as rate of travel) is represented
    byte slope. Space- time diagrams are used in several different ways.
    Where the problems involved are simple enough, they may be use
    to provide direct graphical solutions. In more complicated cases,
    they may be used as an aid in developing analytical solutions to
    control problems, simulation models and theoretical
    models of traffic flow.

    DEVELOPMENT OF ANALYTICAL SOLUTIONS


    Most space-time problem Are complicated enough that it is
    not efficient to use graphical methods for routine solutions.
    In this case, space-time diagrams are often used to
    derive analytical relationships
    , which may then be used to produce a large number of solutions
    quickly and accurately
    . An example of this type of use of space-time diagrams is the derivation of basic relationships used in theanalysis of
    capacity for airport runways used for landings only.
    •

    Runway capacity
    is largely a function of the air traffic rules used by the air traffic control system.
    •

    FUNDAMENTAL RULE:
    When flying under certain minimum conditions, all aircraft at a given elevation must
    maintain certainminimum longitudinal distance separations.
    •
    Minimum distance separation is
    3 nautical miles.

    COMMON APPROACH PATH

    –
    path from the entry gate to the runway threshold.
    •

    CAPACITY OF A RUNWAY
    is
    the max number of aircraft it can handle per unit time
    (say, per hour). This, in turn, is the
    reciprocal of the average time separation between aircraft at the runway threshold.
