Draw the diagram and compute the passing sight distance for the following data:Speed of the passing car = 96 kphSpeed of the overtaken vehicle = 88 kphTine of initial maneuver = 4.3 secAverage acceleration = 2.37 kph/secTime passing vehicle occupies the left lane = 10.4 secDistance between the passing vehicle at the end of its maneuver and the opposing vehicle = 76 m
Imagine you are recording speed at a point along a three-laneroadway. All vehicles in lane 1 are traveling at 60 mi/h, all vehicles in lane 2 are traveling at 30 mi/h, and all vehicles in lane 3 are traveling at 45 mi/h. There is also a constant spacing of 3168 ft. between vehicles. If you collect spot speed data for all vehicles as they cross your observation point, for 60 minutes, what will be the time-mean speed and space mean speed for this traffic stream?
