Question 60
CENAT2 marksNeeds review
Traffic is moving on a 6-lane dual carriageway road. Traffic volume per direction during peak hour (08:00 am to 09:00 am) is 600 veh/h. It is assumed that the traffic is distributed uniformly across the lanes in each direction. Just at 08:00 am, a truck goes out of order on the middle lane of one side, thus disrupting the traffic on that lane in one direction. The lane capacity under normal conditions is 200 veh/h/ln and under queue formation it is 160 veh/h/ln. The traffic resumes at 08:30 am on removing the truck from the middle lane. Hourly traffic volume after 09:00 am reduces to 500 veh/h/dir.
The number of vehicles in the queue at 10:00 am is _____ (in integer).
