Car A is traveling at a location where the speed limit is 100 km/h. The police officer in car P observes this speed via radar. The driver of car A sees and reacts very unwisely to the police car P. Car A is traveling at VA = 129 km/h as it passes P, but over the next 4.9 seconds, the car uniformly accelerates to 149 km/h, after which that speed is maintained. At the moment when A passes P, the police car begins to accelerate at the constant rate of 4.4 m/s² until a speed of 177 km/h is achieved, and that speed is then maintained. Determine the distance s required for the police officer to overtake car A. Answer: s= i VA P m

The length of a highway is 550 m when a head-on vehicle collision occurred. Police reports show that neither human error nor vehicle malfunction was the cause of the collision. Check if the length of the highway is sufficient for an overtaking maneuver. *Accident Report: Speed of Overtaking Car = 96 kph, Speed of Overtaken Car = 88 kph, Perception-reaction Time = 2.5 sec, Average acceleration = 2.4 m/sec2, Time of the passing vehicle occupying the left lane = 10.4 sec, Distance between the passing vehicle at the end of its maneuver and the opposing vehicle = 84m.
Five vehicles are traveling the highway from Point A to Point B at constant speeds. An observer at point A observes the five vehicles passing the designated point during an interval period of 29 seconds. Speeds of the vehicles are as follows : 55, 40, 45, 50, 32 kph. Calculate the flow in veh/hr. the final answer is 620.6897
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?
A motorist is travelling at 72 kph when he observes the traffic light 150 m ahead of him turns red. The traffic light is timed to stay red for 10 seconds. If the motorist wishes to pass the light without stopping just as it turns green, determine the required deceleration of the motorist.
Consider two cars approaching from the opposite directions at 90 km/h and 60 km/h. If the reaction time is 2.5 s, coefficient of friction is 0.7 and brake efficiency is 50% in both the cases, the minimum sight distance required to avoid a head-on collision will be nearly?
Calculate the lag distance for design speed of 47 km/h for two-way traffic on a single-lane road (assume coefficient of friction as 0.38 and reaction time of driver as 2.5 seconds)
In traveling a distance of 2.0 km between points A and D, a car is driven at 106 km/h from A to B for t seconds and 47 km/h from C to D also for t seconds. If the brakes are applied for 3.7 seconds between B and C to give the car a uniform deceleration, calculate t and the distance s between A and B.
The velocities of commuter trains A and B are as shown. Knowing that the speed of each train is constant and that B reaches the crossing 3 min after A passed through the same crossing, determine the distance between the fronts of the engines 10 min after A passed through the crossing (Answer in whole number of a meter).
Car 1 is at gasoline station for 10 minutes. The driver notices that car 2 passes at a speed of 40 mph. How long will it take for Car 1 to overtake Car 2 if it accelerated at 4 m/s?
Assume you are observing traffic in a single lane of a highway at a specific location. You measure the average headway and average spacing of passing vehicles as 3.2 seconds and 20 m, respectively. Calculate the flow, average speed, and density of the traffic stream in this lane.
Car A is moving with constant speed v on the straight and level highway. The police officer in the stationary car Pattempts to measure the speed v with radar. If the radar measures "line-of sight" velocity, what velocity v' will the officer observe? Evaluate your general expression for the values v = 78 mi/hr, L= 480 ft, and D = 17 ft, and draw any appropriate conclusions. O Answer: v' = L P mi/hr
F] Vehicles travel at constant speeds on a one-lane one-way street between sections X and Y. An observer located at point X observes the four vehicles passing point X during a period of 10 seconds. The speeds of the vehicles are measured as 45, 45, 40, and 30mph, respectively. Calculate the average flow, density, time mean speed, and space mean speed.
