Estimate the theoretical capacity of a traffic lane with one way traffic flow at a stream speed of 50 km/h. Assume the average space gap between vehicles to follow the relation, Sg = 0.278 Vt, where, V is the stream speed in km/h, t is the average reaction time = 0.7sec. Assume average length of vehicle is 6 m.
