Estimate the maximum number of cars in a single lane of traffic that would pass a check-point in one hour at an average speed of 50 mph. Safe driving practice requires one car length of spacing for each 10 mph speed. (a) Layout the procedure for making the estimation including assumptions, diagrams, equations, etc.

Assume that you are observing traffic in a single lane of a highway at a specific location. You measure the average headway and average spacing of passing vehicles as 3.2 seconds and 165 ft, respectively. Calculate the following: a) flow of the traffic stream in this lane. Blank 1 b) average speed of the traffic stream in this lane in mi/h. Blank 2 c) density of the traffic stream in this lane. Blank 3 Round off your answer to three decimal places and do not include the unit.
11. Skid Marks Law enforcement officials sometimes use the formula s =√30FB to determine a car's speed, s, in miles per hour, from a car's skid marks. The F in the formula represents the "road factor," which is determined by the Ted's surface, and the B represents the braking distance, n feet. Officer Jenkins is investigating an accident. Find the car's speed if the skid marks are 80 feet long and a) the road was dry asphalt, whose road factor is 0.85, b) the road was wet gravel, whose road factor is 0,52.
A vehicle moving at a speed of 50 mph is slowing traffic on a two-lane highway. What passing sightdistance is necessary, in order for a passing maneuver to be carried out safely? Calculate the passingsight distance. In your calculations, assume that the following variables have the values given: Passing vehicle driver's perception/reaction time = 2.5 sec Passing vehicle's acceleration rate = 1.47 mph/sec Initial speed of passing vehicle = 50 mph Passing speed of passing vehicle = 60 mph Speed of slow vehicle = 50 mph Speed of opposing vehicle = 60 mph Length of passing vehicle = 22 ft Length of slow vehicle = 22 ft Clearance distance between passing and slow vehicles at lane change = 20 ft Clearance distance between passing and slow vehicles at lane re-entry = 20 ft Clearance distance between passing and opposing vehicles at lane re-entry = 250 ft
Two helicopters, H1 and H2, are traveling together. At the time t 0, they separate and follow different straight line paths given by H1: x = 6+ 40t y = -3+ 10t z = -3+2t H2: x 6+ 110t y = -3+ 4t z = -3+t Time t is measured in hours and all coordinates are measured in miles. Due to an error, H2 stops its flight at (446, 13, 1) and lands at (446, 13, 0). Two hours later, H is informed about H2 and moved toward H2 at 175 mph. How long will it takes Hi to reach H2?
