1.1 Data 1
Using the actual data which is speed and density, speed versus density graph have been
plotted. The graph was plotted is shown below:

Therefore, the linear regression equation for the actual: v = 56.85 – 0.141k
Coefficient of correlation:
r= √0.3543
1.3 Theoretical Data
For the theoretical data, the manual calculation has been done using the regression
formula. An equation that relates speed and density has been developed using linear
regression. Greenshields hypothesized that the relationship between speed and density is
linear, as follows:
vf
v =v f − k
kj
Where:
v = speed (km/h)
k = density (veh/km)
vf = free mean speed (km/h)
kj= jam density (veh/km)

Coefficient of correlation:

r=
√(n( ∑ X ²)−( ∑ X )²)( n(∑ Y ²)−( ∑ Y )² )
120(154920 )−(2940 )(6409)
=
√(120(86813 )−(2940 )²)(120(343119)−(6409)²
=−0. 601
Therefore, the linear regression equation for the theoretical data: v = 56.89 – 0.142k
Comments:
Firstly, the actual data, the coefficient of correlation (r = -0.595) suggests a very strong
relationship between the two variables, i.e. speed (v) and density (k). It can be
concluded that the relationship between speed and density can be explained using a
linear equation v = 56.85 – 0.141k. Speed decreases linearly with the increase in
density.
Second, the actual data, the coefficient of correlation (r = -0.601) suggests a very
strong relationship between the two variables, i.e. speed (v) and density (k). It can be
concluded that the relationship between speed and density can be explained using a
linear equation v = 56.89 – 0.142k. Speed decreases linearly with the increase in
density.
Based on actual data and theoretical data, the linear relationship of the
theoretical data has a higher value of the coefficient of correlation than for the linear
relationship of the actual data which is 0.601 is bigger than 0.595.

From the histogram shown above, the frequency of flow is determined from the
data given. The highest value of frequency is 23 for 1600 vehicle per hour. While the
lowest value obtained is 1 for 2000 vehicle per hour.

Frequency
This histogram show the frequency of vehicle speed in a km/h unit. The highest
frequency value is when the vehicle is speeding at 53 km/h. Besides that seven data
show the same frequency and that is 1. The speed is 44,46,49,58,59,60 and 61 km/hour.

Frequency
For this data set, the histogram shown is the frequency of numbers for
occupancy. The highest value for frequency is 28 and the lowest value is 1. The
occupancy is the number of vehicle that used the road.

Occupancy (number)
This graph shows the flow (veh/h) and the occupancy of vehicles in a road. As u
can see , when the numbers ofoccupancy of vehicle using the road increase, the flow is
aso increase steadily.

Density, k (veh/km)
For flow vs density data, the density of a vehicle in a road rises with the flow of
vehicle. When there are too many cars using the road, we can say that the flow and
density will rises.

Flow, q (veh/h)
When a car is speeding, there is no obstruction foe the vehicle to slow down.
Thus when the flow of a vehicle decrease, the speed will rises. Same goes to the flow of
vehicle when it is increase, the speed of a vehicle will decreased.

This graph show the relationship between speed and density. When the density
of vehicle in a road increase, the speed of a vehicle will be slowing down. While when
the speed is increased, the density of a vehicle will decreased down.
