What is Vehicle Travel Speed?
1 Answers
It refers to the average speed of a vehicle traveling on a specific road section. Calculation method of speed: It is the quotient obtained by dividing the length of the road section by the pure travel time of the vehicle (travel time after deducting all stopping times). It is used to analyze the ease of travel and traffic capacity of that road section. Differences between travel speed and trip speed: They differ in nature; their distribution measured values are different; their calculation formulas are different. Travel speed is the average speed of a vehicle traveling on a specific road section. Speed distribution is a numerical value that reflects the dispersion characteristics of speed. Drivers travel according to their personal will on the road but are constrained by other vehicles, road conditions, etc., making it impossible to have a uniform speed. To ensure the accuracy of test data, travel speed usually requires the test vehicle to travel 12 to 16 times on that road section, and the speed value is obtained through statistics. When organizing and analyzing the measured values of speed distribution for trip speed, the sequence is: speed sorting and grouping, which are summarized into 8 to 12 groups. Travel speed is the quotient obtained by dividing the length of the road section by the pure travel time of the vehicle (travel time after deducting all stopping times), used to analyze the ease of travel and traffic capacity of that road section, whereas trip speed is not.
