Plz, solve this problem. Transportation Engineering-2 A four-lane highway (2 lanes in each direction) with 3.65m lanes has a horizontal curve designed for a 380 m centerline radius, and a 110 km/hr design speed. The grade is level. Use a driver perception reaction time of 2.5 sec and a vehicle deceleration rate of 3.4 m/sec2. Determine the closest distance any roadside object may be placed to the centerline of the inside lane of the roadway.(note: Do not round any value. Use calculated values).
On the 6% graded section of a highway, designed with a velocity of 90 km/h, traffic flow is allowed discontinously due to maintenance and repair works. The drivers have to be warned while approaching this section. Find the distance that traffic signs have to be placed on each side of the working area.Given: Pavement sliding coefficient, f=0,45 detection-reaction time, tr=0,75 sn
A developer has requested permission to build a large retail store at a location adjacent to the intersection of an undivided four-lane major road and a two-lane minor road. Traffic on the minor road is controlled by a stop sign. The design speeds are 60 and 80 km/h on the minor and major roads, respectively. The building is to be at a distance of 20 m from the centerline of the near lane of one of the approaches of the minor road. Determine where the building should be located relative to the centerline of the outside lane of the major road in order to provide adequate sight distance for a medium single-unit truck on the minor road to proceed safely across the intersection after stopping at the stop line. Assume a 3.6-m lane width and a 3-m distance from the stop line to the near edge of the major road.
