A driver hit a pedestrian resulting in minor injuries. He was claiming that he followed the posted design speed at 80 kph (running speed=68 kph) and thought the design speed was not correct. Investigate the engineer's claim. (Prove by computation) a.) Was the driver's claim correct? b.) If yes, what should be the posted design speed? If not, what might be the other reasons for the pedestrian accident? Accident Report: - Driver was able to see the pedestrian 80 m ahead - Coefficient of friction = 0.4 Grade of the highway is zero - Time of accident: 8 AM - Weather condition: Fair - skid marks were not clear
Vehicle time headways and spacings were measured at a point along a highway, from a single-lane rural roadway, over the course of an hour. The average values were calculated as 2.5 seconds per vehicles for headway and 200 feet per vehicle for spacing. What is the density, in vehicle per mile?

This is a three-part problem. Two sets of students are collecting traffic data at two roadway stations, station 130 + 00 and station 145 +00. Observations at station 130 + 00 show that five vehicles passed that section at intervals of 0, 3, 4, 3, and 5 sec, respectively. If the speeds of the vehicles were 50, 45, 40, 45, and 50 mph respectively. Note: Stationing is fundamental to highway plans. A station is the horizontal measurement along the Construction Survey Line of a project. Distances are measured and points are identified on plans with reference to station numbers. One hundred feet is equivalent to one station. Highway stationing might be compared with a rope having knots at 100-foot intervals. The beginning end of the rope would be 0, the first knot at 100 feet would be Station Number 1 and would be written as 1+00. The second station number would be 2 (which is 200 feet from the beginning) and would be written as 2+00, and so on. Part A. Determine the time mean speed, in mph.…

Based on the count data shown below, is a traffic signal justified under warrant 1 or warrant 2? The major road is in the E-W direction and minor road is in the N-S direction. Assume there are two lanes on all approaches and the major road speed limit is 35 mph.

5. An engineering student is driving on a roadway with a -1% grade and sees a traffic barricade 600 ft ahead in the middle of the roadway. Despite his best effort to stop in time, the student strikes the sign at a speed of 40 mi/hr. If the student was traveling at 70 mi/hr when the sign was first spotted, what was the student's associated perception-reaction time (use practical stopping distance). 6. A driver is traveling at 62 mi/hr on a wet road. An object is spotted on the road 600 ft ahead and the driver is able to come to a complete stop just before hitting the object. Assuming perception-reaction time of 2.5 seconds and practical stopping distance, determine the grade of the road.

I posted this question yesterday, but the solution feels wrong. In the solution, K and Kj were taken as the same value, is it correct? Apologies for resubmitting, there used to be a follow-back question option, but I can't see it.
Four vehicles travel along a street at a constant speeds of 35, 30, 25 and 20 mph. What is their approximate time mean speed? Select one: a. 30.2 mph b. 27.5 mph c. 26.3 mph d. 24.3 mph
The municipality that controls that arterial road reduced the posted speed limit, hoping to reduce the average speed of the road to 60 km/h. After introducing the new speed limit, the municipality collected a new speed sample (sample size = 220) to calculate the operating speed. The average speed and the standard deviation of the new sample were found to be 61.09 km/h and 8.95 km/h, respectively. Based on this information, answer the following question a) Is the speed reduction (if there is any) statistically significant? b) Was the target speed achieved by introducing the new speed limit?
A researcher was observing traffic along one lane of a rural highway. During a 1 minute time interval, ten vehicles were observed travelling 65, 64, 71, 66, 58, 72, 69, 66, 55 and 62 mph. Using these spot speeds, calculate the time mean speed (mph). Provide your answer to the nearest tenth of a mph.
