A car has a wheelbase of 250cm and a center of gravity that is 100cm behind the front axle at a height of 60cm. If the car is traveling at 130 kph on a road with poor pavement that is wet (μ = 0.6), determine the percentage of braking forces that should be allocated to the front and rear brakes (by the vehicle’s braking system) to ensure that maximum braking forces are developed.

Intersection Design

An intersection is a location where two or more roads or railways meet or join. The traffic movement is controlled at the intersection that depends on its design and type. It governs the operation, efficiency, speed, capacity, and safety of the highways, airways, and railways. The movement of the pedestrian causes hazards and delays at the intersection.
