Gaurav19 Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Hi, For my math IA, I chose to do traffic flow. So far, I narrowed down my potential questions to: a) How do trucks contribute to traffic jams and b) What causes traffic jams. Do you guys think that one of these is a do-able topic question, or should i change it? How can i structure my IA to get a good mark? Thanks :)) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw0573 Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 a) is a good starting point for you to start doing some research and explore your topic in detail. If a) does not work and is limited in the mathematics, then you can approach the more broader b). You can think more about structural of IA once you have a draft done. Shameless plugging my post for drafting and revision tips: 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
So Young Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) I also chose Traffic Flow for my SL IA last year but moved to studies this year which means my IA is much more difficult than Maths Studies/SL lol. I used the Poisson Distribution to see whether I can predict the number of vehicles that will pass in the next 30 seconds at the road I am looking at. =] I can't help you with the suggestions you have until I see the formula u will use tbh , If you consider looking at Poisson Distribution I am here to help Oh btw, I moved to Studies because I want to do Law at university so I didn't need Maths SL.

How did you go about it? im still trying to decide whether I should use poisson or another method, cause i know there are 2 other methods. im still trying to figure how i can use my data to plug into the formulas to get the results that ill analyze and apply in diagrams. Its really complicated and im sort of lost but ill figure it out Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BudyH Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 its hard to explain them, so you can check this website i found them at.... http://web.mst.edu/~gosavia/queuing_formulas.pdf / are you doing yours on movie queues as well.
