At an intersection of two major roads in a metropolitan city, the design speed is 36 kmph and the width of roads is 10 m. If rate of deacceleration and perception reaction times are 5m/s² and 1 second respectively, then inter-green period is [Take vehicle length = 5 m] (a) 2.4 sec (c) 4.8 sec (b) 3.5 sec (d) 8.4 sec
A driver traveling down a 4% grade collides with a roadside object in rainy conditions, and is issued a ticket for driving too fast for conditions. The posted speed limit is 65 mi/h. The accident investigation team determined the following: The vehicle was traveling 40 mi/h when it struck the object, braking skid marks started 205 ft before the struck object, the pavement is in good condition, and the braking efficiency of the vehicle was 93%. Using theoretical stopping distance, assuming aerodynamic resistance is negligible, and with the coefficient rolling resistance approximated as 0.015, should the driver appeal the ticket? Why or why not?
Traffic on a freeway gives a Greenshield's traffic flow relationship expressed as: Q = 60k-0.16667k? At 10AM, an accident occurs 4 km downstream of an access ramp. The vehicles pull onto the shoulder of the roadway, but traffic passing the accident area slows to 10 kph as drivers survey the damage on the side of the road. A patrol car enters the freeway via access ramp, also at 10AM. Upon entering the freeway, the patrol car notes that traffic on the freeway is moving along at about 40 kph. Determine the following: 1. Capacity flow of the highway 2. Traffic shockwave created by the road accident 3. Time in AM the patrol car will reach the accident zone 4. Plotted traffic shockwave line in the Q-k traffic model diagram
A driver with 20/20 vision traveling at 55 mph in the median lane desires to exit the freeway at the exit ramp. If 5-in. letters are used, what is the minimum distance the sign should be placed ahead of the ramp exit? (Some assumptions that would be helpful are perception-reaction time = 2 sec; exit speed = 30 mph; deceleration rate = 4.80 ft/s2 a driver with 20/20 vision can read a sign at 55 ft per inch of letter height.) Discuss your results.
II. A student trying to test the braking ability of her car determined that she needed 19.5 ft more to stop her car when driving downhill on a road segment of 5% grade than when driving downhill at the same speed along another segment of 3.5% grade. Determine the speed at which the student conducted her test and the braking distance on the 5% grade if the student is traveling at the test speed in the uphill direction. - 30 points
. An automobile traveling at a rate of 30 ft/sec is approaching an intersection. When the automobile is 120 ft from the intersection, a truck traveling at the rate of 40 fi/sec crosses the intersection, The automobile and the truck are on roads that are at right angles to each other. How fast are the automobile and the truck separating 2 sec after the truck leaves the intersection?
A car is traveling at a speed of 100 ft/s which accelerates 12 ft/s2. The perception reaction time for the driver is 2.40 s. If the maximum grade of the road is -3.7%, compute the following: a. Braking distance in meters b. Lag distance in meters
Calculate safe overtaking sight distance for a two way traffic road for the following data. The speed of overtaking and overtaken vehicles are 50and 40kmph respectively. The acceleration is 3kmph/sec, design speed is 60 kmph and reaction time is 2seconds.
A test of a driver’s perception/reaction time is being conducted on a special testing track with level, wet pavement and a driving speed of 50 mi/h. When the driver is sober, a stop can be made just in time to avoid hitting an object that is first visible 385 ft ahead. After a few drinks under exactly the same conditions, the driver fails to stop in time and strikes the object at a speed of 30 mi/h. Determine the driver’s perception/reaction time before and after drinking. [Assume Practical Stopping Distance].
What distance will a vehicle travel before coming to a complete stop from a speed of 70 mph, (a) When the vehicle is traveling on a level roadway with no grade, (b-1) When the vehicle is traveling uphill on a roadway of constant grade = 0.10, (b-2) If the roadway grade is not constant but starts at 0.10 uphill and decreases to 0 at a continuous rate, would the braking distance be equal to, greater than, or less than that in the case of a constant 0.10 uphill grade (briefly explain why) (c) When the vehicle is traveling downhill on a roadway of constant grade = 0.10. Assume a perception-reaction time of 2.5 seconds, and an a/g value equal to 0.35.
