Concept explainers

Intersection Design

An intersection is a location where two or more roads or railways meet or join. The traffic movement is controlled at the intersection that depends on its design and type. It governs the operation, efficiency, speed, capacity, and safety of the highways, airways, and railways. The movement of the pedestrian causes hazards and delays at the intersection.

A motorist is travelling at 72 kph when he observes the traffic light 150 m ahead of him turns red. The traffic light is timed to stay red for 10 seconds. If the motorist wishes to pass the light without stopping just as it turns green, determine the required deceleration of the motorist.
Traffic is observed at a single lane of a highway at a specific location. The average headway and average spacing of passing vehicles are measured as 3.5 seconds and 192 ft., respectively. Calculate the average speed (mph), flow (veh/hour), and density (veh/mile) of the traffic stream in this lane
Vehicle time headways and spacings were measured at a point along a highway, from a single lane, over the course of an hour. The average values were calculated as 4.3 s/veh for headway and 50 m/veh for spacing. Determine the flow rate in veh/hr ( round your answer in 3 decimals)
Suppose you are noticing traffic in a single lane of an expressway at a particular area. The average headway is quantified as 4.2 seconds. The average spacing of successive vehicles is found as 38 meters. According to the findings, compute the average speed, flow, and density of this stream on the lane.
Two cars A and B are stopped at a traffic light, waiting for the light to change from red to green, see Figure 3. Car B is 6 meters behind car A. When the light turns green, car A starts accelerating at a rate of 0.3 m / sec2, while car B departs 2 seconds later and accelerates at a rate of 0.8 m / sec2. Determine the speed each car was carrying when they are side by side.
A motorist is traveling at 54 km/h when she observes that a traffic light 240 m ahead of her turns red. The traffic light is timed to stay red for 24 s. If the motorist wishes to pass the light without stopping just as it turns green again by reducing speed at constant rate, determine the speed of the car as it passes the light.
