A car having a speed of 90 kph overtakes a tricycle having a speed of 80kph. The time of the initial maneuver is 4 seconds with an average acceleration of 2.4 kph/ second. The car occupies the left lane for a period of 9 seconds. The opposing truck is 90m from the car at the end of the maneuver. Determine the minimum passing sight distance in meters.

A car (SEDAN) is to overtake a bus as it enters an acceleration lane. The speed of the SEDAN is 80 kph initially. The bus is at the same speed as the SEDAN. Given the perception reaction time as 2.70 seconds and the average acceleration of the vehicle is 2.55 m/s2, solve the: a. The passing sight distance (in furlong) that the SEDAN could move while overtaking the slow-moving bus before meeting the on-coming opposing vehicle if the velocity of SEDAN increases to 90 kph and the time for it tooccupy the left lane is 12.50 seconds. The opposing vehicle travels at a speed of 70 kph and the time for it to reach a point before it passes the SEDAN is 0.18 minutes. The between the SEDAN at the end of its and the opposing vehicle is 91.60 yards.
