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.

Question A traffic stream in particular direction of a two-lane road moving with a constant speed of 50 km/h. with an average headway of 2.52 s.The longitudinal distance between two consecutive vehicles is
The design speed of a two-lane two-way road is 60 km/h and the longitudinal coefficient of friction is 0.36. The reaction time of a driver is 2.5 seconds. Consider acceleration due to gravity as 9.8 m/s?. The intermediate sight distance (in m, round off to the nearest integer) required for the road is
A vehicle travels along a curve of radius 150 m banked at an angle of 15°. If the static coefficient of friction between the road and the tires is 0.2, determine the largest constant speed at which the vehicle will not be thrown outward the banked curve. Answer in kph, nearest whole number without written units.
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 VÅ = 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 distances required for the police officer to overtake car A. A Answer: s= VA P m
While a car is moving with a speed 108 k on a straight road the driver sees a truck which enters the road 75m ahead. The driver applies full brake 0.5s after s/he observes the truck, however the car hits the truck with a speed of 50 k. Then what would be the maximum initial speed of car in when the driver observes the truck in order that the car does not hit the truck with all other conditions are the same?
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 is traveling at vÃ = 122 km/h as it passes P, but over the next 4.1 seconds, the car uniformly decelerates to the speed limit of 100 km/h, and after that the speed limit is maintained. At the moment when A passes P, the police car begins to accelerate at the constant rate of 4.0 m/s² until a speed of 164 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 248.52 P m
