EXPERIMENT 02

AIM: To study the change in speed of the approaching vehicles along the slow down section
before a median opening.

THEORY: The slow down section is the one where change in velocity between two successive
sections is more than 2.2 kmph.

OBSERVATIONS AND RESULTS: The observations are as follows:

For high traffic volume:

For zone 1 (lane 1):
