What is the intersection sight distance (m) needed at a stop controlled intersection for a passenger car to turn left onto a 2-way, 4-lane road with a design speed of 80 km/h? Assume the vehicle turns into the closest lane. [round to the nearest meter] Response Feedback: ISD=0.278V t major g Remember, tg is increased by 0.5 seconds for the additional lane.
On a certain stretch of track, trains run at 60 kph. How far back of a stopped train should be a warning torpedo be placed to signal an oncoming train? Assume that the brakes are applied at once and retard the train at the uniform rate of 2 ft/sec.

plz, solve this problem, it is not graded question. Transportation Engineering-1 During a 70 sec period, a detector is occupied by vehicles for the following times: 0.31, 0.39, 0.41, 0.35, and 0.53 sec. Estimate the values of flow (q), density (k) and speed (v). Assume that the loop detector is 10 ft and that that the average length of the vehicle is 20 ft.
äböi 25 Q4) A driver is travelling at 45 mph. He is 6Om from a traffic light when he sees turn yellow. His reaction time, before stepping on the break is 0.5 seconds. What steady deceleration while breaking will bring him to a stop right at the ?light
One vehicle is following another on a two-lane, two-way highway at night according to the safe-driving “rule-of-thumb” of one car length spacing for each 10 mph of speed. Both of you traveling at 70 mph when the lead vehicle crashes into an unlighted disable vehicle. Assuming that one car length is 20 feet, f=0.28 and PIEV time is 1.5 for you, will you hit the lead vehicle? If so at what speed will you be going?
The length of a highway is 550 m when a head-on vehicle collision occurred. Police reports show that neither human error nor vehicle malfunction was the cause of the collision. Check if the length of the highway is sufficient for an overtaking maneuver. Accident Report: -Speed of Overtaking Car = 96 kph -Speed of Overtaken Car= 88 kph -Perception-reaction time 2.5 sec -Average acceleration = 2.4 m/sec2 -Time of the passing vehicle occupying the left lane (10.4 sec) - Distance between the passing vehicle at the end of its maneuver and the opposing vehicle= 84 m
A car is traveling at 15 m/s, when the traffic light 60 m ahead turns yellow. If the car decelerates, the time needed to stop the car at the light. 7 secs O 8 secs 5 secs 6 secs
Car B is traveling a distance d ahead of car A. Both cars are traveling at 60 ft/s when the driver of B suddenly applies the brakes, causing his car to decelerate at 12 ft/s?. It takes the driver of car A 0.75 s to react (this is the normal reaction time for drivers). When he applies his brakes, he decelerates at 15 ft/s?. Determine the minimum distance d between the cars so as to avoid a collision. -d -
