Worksheet 4

DENSITY OF TRANSPORTS

We went out of the school to the same three streets than the last day. In those streets we count ( whith the counter) the number of cars, buses, taxis, motorbikes and pedestrians in five minutes. Then we divided the resaults by five to know the number of vehicles per minute. Here you have the results:




Conclusion:

Our conclusion is that Casp and Pau Claris have simillar width, but in Pau Claris the density of vehicles is much more than Casp. Gran Via is the street with more density because is a main street, with a lot of lanes, so the results are bigger than Casp and Pau Claris.
But the width of Pau Claris and Casp is similar while in Pau Claris the traffic is more than in Casp because Pau Claris cross the city from the mountain to the sea and is very long and cross Aragó, Diagonal and gran Via (all of them main streets). However Casp is a short street , don't cross main streets and for this reason the traffic is less. It is a street with less polution and noys, so there are a lot of pedastrians walking.

Worksheet 3

MOBILITY AND WAYS OF TRANSPORT

We went to Pau Claris, Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes and Casp, (streets araound our school) and we mesure the widh of this three streets. We measure the widh of the streets measuring our step and multiply it by the number of steps. After this, we measure the widh of the sidewalk by the same way.





In Gran Via more than the half is for cars because is a main street but in Pau Claris and Casp the sidewalk is better for the pedestrians. Pau Claris and Casp are similars but in Pau Claris the traffic is more dense than in Casp, so the polution too.
