30s - Q5
It is observed that 50 traffic crashes occurred on a 20-mile long section of Route 120 in one year. If the average daily traffic on the section was 5500 vehicles determine the rate of fatal crashes per 100 million vehicle-mile if 6% of the crashes involved fatalities.

The difference between the time the front of a vehicle arrives at a point on the highway and the time the front of the next vehicle arrives at the same point.
Time lag
Time headway
Gap
Regression time
30s - Q11
The arithmetic mean of the speeds of vehicles passing a point on a highway during an interval of time.
Instantaneous speed
Average speed
Space mean speed
Time mean speed
30s - Q12
The harmonic mean of the speed of vehicles passing a point on a highway during an interval of time. It is obtained by dividing the total distance travelled by two or more vehicles on a section of a highway by the total time required by these vehicles to travel that distance.
Time mean speed
Space mean speed
Average speed
Instantaneous speed
