Concept explainers

Capacity and Level of Service at Intersections

The term capacity is associated with transportation engineering. Capacity helps to understand how many pedestrians or vehicles can be handled by a transport facility. Level of service is also a term associated with transportation engineering. The level of service indicates the performance of the transport facility.

Car A travels due east at an initial velocity of 10km/hour then constantly increased in velocity until it reached 50 km/ hour after 40 minutes then it maintained the velocity for the rest of its travel. Car B has an initial velocity of 90 km/ hour and gradually decelerates to a velocity of 60 km/hr after traveling for 20 minutes it then maintained the velocity of 60 km/hour for the rest of its travel time. If car B travels due east 15 minutes after car A started at what distance from their starting?
Plz, solve this problem. Transportation Engineering-2 A four-lane highway (2 lanes in each direction) with 3.65m lanes has a horizontal curve designed for a 380 m centerline radius, and a 110 km/hr design speed. The grade is level. Use a driver perception reaction time of 2.5 sec and a vehicle deceleration rate of 3.4 m/sec2. Determine the closest distance any roadside object may be placed to the centerline of the inside lane of the roadway.(note: Do not round any value. Use calculated values).

A sign is required to be put up asking drivers to slow down to 30 km/h before entering zone Y (see figure). On this road, vehicles require 174 m to slow down to 30 kmn/h(the distance of 174 m includes the distance travelled during the perception reaction time of drivers). The sign can be read by 6/6 vision drivers from a distance of 48 m. The sign is placed at a distance of x m from the start of Zone Y so that even a 6/9 vision drive can slow down to 30 km/h before entering the zone. The minimum value of x is m.
