A vehicle weighing 2000kg is travelling on a curve with a horizontal radius of 600 metres, at a speed of 80 kph. For a roadway with a 6-metre-wide carriage way, what is the superelevation required for there to be no net sliding force between the vehicle and the road surface? For the same curve and vehicle speed, on a flat, straight roadway calculate the following if the maximum superelevation is limited to 6% of the carriageway width. If the maximum required friction coefficient is 0.16 to enable what is the minimum safe radius?

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.
