Based on Greenshield’s model, a speed-density relationship is developed on the data of a traffic stream. This relationship is represented as v = 75 − 0.03k, where v (in km/hr) is the mean speed at density k (in vehicle/km). The jam density (in vehicle/km) of this traffic stream is ____________ (in integer).

The demand function of a light rail transit system (LRTS) of a city is represented as Q = 4300 – 85P, where Q is the ridership/day and P is the fare/ride. If the existing fare of Rs. 30 per ride is reduced to Rs. 25 per ride, then the consequent increase in ridership of the LRTS (in percentage) is __________ (rounded off to two decimal places).

A classified vehicle count was conducted in the midblock of a two-lane one-way collector road during peak hour (08:00 A.M. – 09:00 A.M.) on a weekday. The vehicle counts and corresponding passenger car unit (PCU) values per unit are shown in the table below. If the maximum design capacity per lane of that road is 1300 PCU/hr, then the volume to capacity ratio of that road is __________ (rounded off to two decimal places).

Vehicle Type	Hourly Vehicle Count (08:00 A.M. – 09:00 A.M.)	PCU Value
Bus	52	2.50
Truck	24	3.00
Car	720	1.00
Motorized Two-Wheeler	1050	0.50
Auto Rickshaw	275	0.80
E-Rickshaw	410	0.80
Bicycle	90	0.30

A city aims to introduce Metro rail as a sustainable public transport, with a projected daily ridership of 3,67,200 which is expected to shift 18% of the daily trips from other existing modes. The existing modal share (in percentage) is shown in the figure. If half of the above modal shift is expected to replace trips by Motorised Two-wheeler and Motorised Four-wheeler in 2:1 ratio, the trips only by Motorised Two-wheeler, post modal shift to Metro is ________________. (answer in integer)

Select the correct statement(s) with regard to Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZs).

Your answerSelect all correct options. You can choose more than one.

TAZs are not determined based on physical barriers like rivers, mountains and forest.

Demographic characteristics of a TAZ will change with new residents moving into the TAZ.

‘Cordon line’ helps in defining the study area within which TAZs are located.

TAZs cannot include multiple wards.

The spot speeds (in km/h) of eight vehicles in a traffic stream are 42, 52, 56, X, 53, 62, 65, and 48. X is the spot speed of the fourth vehicle. The Time Mean Speed of the traffic stream is 56.25 km/h. After determining the value of X, the calculated Space Mean Speed of the traffic stream is ______________ km/h. (rounded off to two decimal places)

An individual choses a transport mode for a particular trip based on three attributes i.e., cost of journey (X), In-vehicle travel time to each destination (Y), and Out-of-vehicle time taken to access mode at respective stops (Z). The values for these attributes for three modes Rail, Bus and Para-transit are given in the table. If the general utility (U) equation is U = − 0.5X − 0.3Y − 0.4Z, using Logit model, the estimated probability of choosing Bus is ______________. (rounded off to two decimal places)

Mode | X = Cost of journey (in INR) | Y = In-Vehicle travel time (in min) | Z = Out-of-Vehicle travel time (in min) Rail | 20 | 20 | 10 Bus | 10 | 40 | 7.5 Para-transit | 15 | 35 | 5
