A vehicle is moving at 50 mph and suddenly sees an object. It applies the brakes and slows down to a speed of 15 mph. Calculate the following: a. Distance the vehicle would move before driver activates the brakes. (Use design PIEV time of 2.5 seconds) b. distance the vehicle moved after application of brakes to drop to 15 mph speed (assume constant Ideceleration rate of 11.2 ft/sec²)

One vehicle is following another on a 2 lane highway at night. According to the rule of right thumb, one car length of clearance per 10mph speed exists between cars. If both vehicles are traveling at 60mph and the lead car crashed into the rear of an unlighted parked truck, at what speed will the rear car hit the wreckage? (Assume a reaction time of 2.5 seconds, car length= 18ft and a coefficient of friction of 0.65. Is the rule of thumb safe? Under the prevailing conditions in this example what is the minimum space in terms of car length between cars for every 10mph speed to avoid the crash?

A driver on a level two-lane highway observes a truck completely blocking the highway. The driver was able to stop her vehicle only 10 ft from the truck. If the driver was driving at 70 mi/h, how far was she from the truck when she first observed it (assume perception-reaction time is 2.0 seconds)? How far was she from the truck at the moment the brakes were applied (use a/g=0.35)?
Subject: Transportation Engineering The traffic light just turns green at an intersection.
