Concept explainers

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.

3) A vehicle is moving at 50 mph and suddenly sees an object. It applies the brakes and slows down to a speed of 15 mph. Calculate the following: a. Distance the vehicle would move before driver activates the brakes. (Use design PIEV time of 2.5 seconds) b. distance the vehicle moved after application of brakes to drop to 15 mph speed (assume constant Ideceleration rate of 11.2 ft/sec²)
The driver of a vehicle is following another vehicle in front of her on a two-lane highway at night. She keeps a clearance of one car length for every 4 mph of speed while she follows the lead car. However, while going downhill at 56 mph, the lead car crashes into the rear of an unlighted abandoned truck. At what speed will her car hit the wreckage? Assume a perception-reaction time is 2 seconds, a deceleration rate of 11.2 feet/sec2, the length of cars of 18 feet, and the road grade as 3%.

A motorist is travelling at 72km/hr when he observes that a traffic light ahead of him turns red. The traffic light is timed to stay red for 22 seconds. If the motorists wishes to pass the light without stopping just as it tums green again, determine a) the required uniform deceleration of the car in m/s^2 b) the speed of the car in m/s as it passes the light. 320m v = 72km/hr
A driver is driving at 75 kph when a dog suddenly appeared and stopped at the middle of the road. Determine the distance the vehicle would move before the driver could activate the brakes. Assume PRT is 2.50 secs. If the friction factor is 0.30 and brake efficiency is 45%, determine the braking distance. If the vehicle is 250 m away when the driver sees the dog, will the dog be hit by the vehicle?

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?
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].
Find the minimum sight distance to avoid head-on collision of two cars approaching at 90 kmph and 60 kmph. Given t=25s, f=0.70 and brake efficiency of 50% in either case.
