- a) Discuss how shockwaves are formed and how their occurrence can be reduced or mitigated? b)List and describe 3 common types of accidents at a X-intersection in your area and give appropriate engineering measure eliminate or reduce the occurrence?A Pajero intercooler skidded into an intersection of Magsaysay Avenue and Quirino Avenue and stuck a bystander and continued until it hit one of the column support of the skyway. Based on the damage to the front of the car, the police report estimated that the car was doing 8 kph at the moment the impact on the column support. The length of the skidmarks was recorded to be 40m. The road has a downhill grade of -5%. A test car skidded 14m on the same section of the road when the brake is applie from a speed of 40 kph to the halt. Determine the probable speed of the car involved in the accident when the brakes were applied in kph.Discuss how shockwaves are formed on high way roads and how their occurrence can be reduced or mitigated.
- What is the difference, if any, between the critical volume of a phase and the volume of a lane group?What safety precautions are taken during handoffs between vehicles?Which test is NOT introduced by Strategic Highway Research Program? O Viscosity at 135 C Rotational Viscosity O Pressure Aging Vessel O Dynamic Shear Rheometer
- You are assigned as the Project Engineer for a safety project on a two-lane conventional highway. Two existing utility poles are located 10 ft and 25 ft from the ETW respectively. Do you have any concern as the project engineer?Define Vehicle collision loadsWhen a vehicle that is presented for inspection will not fit in the building because it is too tall, the facility must: Notify DMV that they were unable to perform the inspection. Refuse to inspect the vehicle and suggest that the vehicle owner find a facility with a taller garage door. Bring the vehicle to a facility with a taller garage door for the vehicle owner. Inspect the vehicle outside of the building.
- These are types of intersection controlled by yield or stop signs Your answer These are various conveyances of moving people, goods and lor information Your answer Movement of people and/or goods from one place to another * Your answer A type of intersection that aims to enhance safety and operations without extensive construction or ROW cost * Your answerPavement Management Systems is a tool for the pavement engineer to decide WHERE, WHEN, and HOW and action will be done based on socio-economic considerations.
