Capacity and Level of Service at Intersections

The term capacity is associated with transportation engineering. Capacity helps to understand how many pedestrians or vehicles can be handled by a transport facility. Level of service is also a term associated with transportation engineering. The level of service indicates the performance of the transport facility.

A car is traveling at 76 mi/hr down a 3% grade on poor, wet pavement. The car's braking efficiency is 90%. The brakes were applied 320 ft before impacting an object. The car had an antilock braking system, but the system failed 200ft after the brakes had been applied (wheels locked). What speed was the car traveling at just before it impacted the object? (Assume theoretical stopping distance, ignore air resistance, and let Frl=0.015)
a truck was travelling uphill at 50kph. the brakes are suddenly applied and the truck stopped in a distance of 16.1m. if the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road surface is 0.4, what is the grade of the road?
A car is traveling up a 2% grade at 70 mi/h on good, wet pavement. The driver brakes to try to avoid hitting stopped traffic that is 250 ft ahead. The driver's reaction time is 0.5 s. At first, when the driver applies the brakes, a software flaw causes the anti-lock braking system to fail (brakes work in non-anti-lock mode with 80% efficiency), leaving 80 ft skid marks. After the 80 ft skid, the anti-lock brakes work with 100% efficiency. How fast will the driver be going when the stopped traffic is hit if the coefficient of rolling resistance is constant at 0.013? (assume minimum theoretical stopping distance and ignore aerodynamic resistance)
1. A car is approachin an intersection with velocity 35 mph. When the car is at a distance of 200 ft from the intersection, the signal turned yellow. If the driver decides to break, will he be able to stop safely? The driver's reaction time is 1.5 s. Assume the road surface as leveled. The maximum braking effort is applied. Will your answer change, if the grade of the road surface is downhill 3%? A car is at a distance of 200 ft from an intersection stop line when the signal turned yellow. What should be the minimum speed of the car (miles/hour) if the driver decides to apply brake and is just able to stop at the line? Use reaction time of 1.5 s and the road surface has zero grade.

A car is traveling up a 1.5% grade at 65 mi/hr on good, wet pavement. The driver brakes to try to avoid hitting a cone on the road that is 300 ft ahead. The driver's reaction time is 1.5 second. When the driver first applies the brakes, a software flaw causes the braking efficiency to lower to 0.8 for 100 ft. After the initial 100 ft, the braking efficiency returns to 1.0. How fast will the driver be going when the cone on the road is hit if the coefficient of rolling resistance is constant at 0.015? (Assume minimum theoretical stopping distance and ignore aerodynamic resistance.)
