Concept explainers

Capacity and Level of Service at Intersections

The term capacity is associated with transportation engineering. Capacity helps to understand how many pedestrians or vehicles can be handled by a transport facility. Level of service is also a term associated with transportation engineering. The level of service indicates the performance of the transport facility.

2. A Hyundai Santa Fe travels a 1.30km levelled road from Bonifacio roundabout to City Lights Hotel in a minimum time of 45.60seconds. Given that the car accelerates and decelerates at 2.53 m/s², which starts from rest at the roundabout and coming to a stop at the Hotel, determine the maximum speed (in kph) and the time (in seconds) it travel at this speed. Assume time for acceleration and deceleration are equal.
