Q3) On the road with a 6% gradient, one of the vehicles is climbing the slope with a speed of V₁=80 km/h, while the other is descending from the opposite direction at a speed of V₂=90 km/h (one lane of the road is closed for maintenance reasons). For the drivers to stop without colliding by applying the brakes, how far apart should they see each other at a minimum? (tr₁= 0.75 s, tr2= 1.25 s, f = 0.40).

A driver (with a reaction time 0.60 sec) is driving down hill on a 5% grade at 60 km /hr .find minimum stopping sight distance required on highway section ?assume coefficient of friction =0.7 locked wheels?
A traffic stream is moving at a steady state when entering a mountain grade. Upon entering the grade, the speed, density and flow are 72 km/h, 25 veh/km and 1800 veh/hr respectively. On the grade, a truck drops to a speed of 15 km/h causing traffic to bunch up to a density of 85 veh/km. When the truck pulls over, traffic accelerates to the maximum flow until steady state flow conditions resume. Calculate (a) the flow of traffic behind the truck on the mountain grade (b) the jam density and free flow speed for this road (c) the density and speed when traffic resumes a steady state flow (d) the maximum flow
2 A slight bend prior to a curve means that a 65 km/h curve advisory speed sign is not visible to drivers until 95 m before the start of the curve. The 85th percentile speed of vehicles on this approach, prior to reaction and braking, has been measured by survey as 88 km/h. If it is assumed that it is desirable for vehicles to slow down to the posted 65 km/h-advisory speed before reaching the curve, what is the required distance to achieve this? Is the available sight distance adequate for this?
