    8A The speed-flow survey data is compiled and shown by the following table; find the 3
    time mean speed and space mean speed.

    8B It has been observed from field survey that 960 vehicles were occupied per 2
    kilometer length of the road segment under jammed condition in the morning peak
    hours. Also the free flow speed observed for the same road during night hours is
    100 kilometer per hour. Calculate the maximum traffic flow per hour that can occur
    on the road segment.

    9A The phase diagram with flow values of an intersection with three phases is shown
    in the figure below. The lost time and yellow time for the first phase is 4 and 4 3
    seconds respectively. For the second phase the lost time and yellow time are 3.5 and
    4 seconds respectively. For the third phase the lost time and yellow time are 2.5 and
    3 seconds respectively. If the cycle time is 150 seconds, show by sketches the time
    allocated to green, yellow and red for three phases. 300

    and width of the road is 7 m with one longitudinal joint. The unit weight of concrete
    is 2400 kg/m3, the coefficient of friction is 1.5, allowable working tensile stress in
    steel is 1750 kg/cm2, and stress of deformed bars is 24.6 kg/cm2.
