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.

Badly need within 1hr pls, thank you! Two Cars A and B are approaching each other in adjacent highway lanes. At t= 0,A and B are 1.25 km apart, their speeds are yA = 120 km/h and ya * 72 km/h, and they are at points P and Q. respectively. Knowing that A passes point 0. 50 s after B was there and that B passes point P. 53 s after A was there, determine the uniform accelerations of A and B,also,when the vehicles pass each other the distance of cars A and B from their origin and the speed of B at that time.
On a certain stretch of track, trains run at 60 kph. How far back of a stopped train should be a warning torpedo be placed to signal an oncoming train? Assume that the brakes are applied at once and retard the train at the uniform rate of 2 ft/sec.
One vehicle is following another on a two-lane, two-way highway at night according to the safe-driving “rule-of-thumb” of one car length spacing for each 10 mph of speed. Both of you traveling at 70 mph when the lead vehicle crashes into an unlighted disable vehicle. Assuming that one car length is 20 feet, f=0.28 and PIEV time is 1.5 for you, will you hit the lead vehicle? If so at what speed will you be going?
A truck travels along a straight, level road at the speed of 76ft/sec. when the driver is forced to apply the breaks to avoid an accident. If the truck undergoes a constant deceleration of 6ft/sec2, how far does the truck travel before coming to a complete stop?
Two vehicles, one operated by a human and the other computer controlled, are traveling on a level highway. If the autonomous vehicle is traveling at 70 mi/h, and it receives information at a frequency of 10Hz to respond, what is the maximum speed the human-controlled vehicle can travel and have a practical stopping distance that does not exceed that of the autonomous vehicle? (Assume that grade is zero, driver’s reaction time is 1.5s and autonomous vehicle can decelerate at 15.5ft/s2 )?
A driver travelling at 50mph sees a hazard at a certain distance ahead. The driver then applies the brakes immediately, time is 2sec and begins slowing the vehicle at 10m/s^2. If the distance from the stopping point to avoid hitting the boulder is 10.28m, how far the car from the hazard upon perception.
A car is traveling at 76 mi/hr down a 3% grade on poor, wet pavement. The car's braking efficiency is 90%. The brakes were applied 320 ft before impacting an object. The car had an antilock braking system, but the system failed 200ft after the brakes had been applied (wheels locked). What speed was the car traveling at just before it impacted the object? (Assume theoretical stopping distance, ignore air resistance, and let Frl=0.015)
