1.) A truck going uphill on a one lane road with 10% grade has left brake marks of 10.49 m on the pavement to avoid colliding with a car traveling down the road at 100 km/h. Assuming that the vehicles applied breaks at the same time. What minimum distance should be visible to drivers of the vehicles to avoid collision? (take u= 0.70 and break efficiency n=0.70 for both vehicles, mass factor = 1.04, tr=2.5 seconds) a.) use practical breaking distance b.) use theoretical brake distance

A test of a driver’s perception/reaction time is being conducted on a special testing track with level, wet pavement and a driving speed of 50 mi/h. When the driver is sober, a stop can be made just in time to avoid hitting an object that is first visible 385 ft ahead. After a few drinks under exactly the same conditions, the driver fails to stop in time and strikes the object at a speed of 30 mi/h. Determine the driver’s perception/reaction time before and after drinking. [Assume Practical Stopping Distance].
A single lane unidirectional highway has a design speed of 65 kmph. The perception-brake-reaction time of drivers is 2.5 seconds and the average length of vehicles is 5m. The coefficient of longitudinal friction of the pavement is 0.4. The capacity of this road in terms of 'vehicles per hour per lane' is
