A rail transit system has prescribed the following factors: 1. Peak hour demand = 30000 passengers/hr 2. Minimum required speed = 55 ft/sec 3. Deceleration = 3 ft/sec2 4. Safety factor = 1.45 5. Vehicle length = 80 ft 6. Allowable vehicle capacity = 150 pass/veh 7. Guideway utilization factor = 0.83 8. Minimum headway = 110 sec How many cars should the train consist of to provide adequate passenger capacity?

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.
