A freight train and a passenger train share the same rail track. The freight train leaves station A at 8:00 A.M. The train travels at a speed of 45 km/h for the first 10 minutes and then continues to travel at a speed of 60 km/h. At 8:35 A.M., the passenger train leaves station A. The pas- senger train travels first at a speed of 75 km/h for 5 minutes and then continues to travel at a speed of 105 km/h. Determine the location of the siding where the freight train will have to be parked to allow the faster passenger train to pass through. As a safety precaution, it is determined that the time headway between the two trains should not be allowed to fall below 5 minutes.

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.
