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.

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.
