Concept explainers

Capacity and Level of Service at Intersections

The term capacity is associated with transportation engineering. Capacity helps to understand how many pedestrians or vehicles can be handled by a transport facility. Level of service is also a term associated with transportation engineering. The level of service indicates the performance of the transport facility.

Find the maximum velocity of the car could move along the curve so that there will be no outstanding pressure between the tires and the roadway. c. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.60, what is the maximum velocity (in kph) of the car without sliding?
Andoks highway can accommodate speed of 80 kph under free-flowing conditions. On average, front bumper-to-bumper spacing of 1.58m is occuring on the highway such that the flow stops completely. Determine the flow of traffic on Andoks Highway if the average speed of the vehicles is 28 kph.
A two-lane minor road intersects with a four-lane major street at 90 deg, forming a 4-leg intersection with traffic on the minor road controlled by a stop sign.
