Transportation Planning Process

A transport planning process is the process of defining future policies, objectives, investments, action plans and spatial planning projects to meet future transportation-related needs. As is being done today, it is a collaborative process that incorporates the views of a wide range of stakeholders including various central and local government agencies, state-owned enterprises and the private sector. Transport planners, planning organizations or federal agencies use a multidisciplinary approach to analyze a variety of alternatives and impact on the transportation system to contribute to profitable outcomes.

1. The license plates of motor vehicles having letters 3 inches high can be read by a person with 20/20 vision at a maximum distance of 54 feet for every inch height of letter. A witness with 20/40 vision testifying in court regarding a speeding driver claims that he noted the license plate number accurately when he was 85 feet from this speeding car that goes in the same direction. If he claims that he took 1.5 seconds to read the license plate, what is the reliability of his testimony?

I do not understand how to do this question: The answer is G>H>C>F>B>D>E>A but I do not understand why that is the correct answer. Could you explain the formulas used for solving this? Eight cars move along smooth horizontal roadways in the same direction at specified speeds, v, toward identical barriers. All the cars have the same size and shape, but carry different loads and, hence, have different masses, m. The cars collide with the barriers and come to a stop after having traveled some distance. Assume the force exerted on each of the cars by their respective barrier is the same. Rank the situations described here from greatest to smallest according to the stopping distance of each vehicle. If any situations yield the same stopping distance, give them the same ranking. (Use only ">" or "=" symbols. Do not include any parentheses around the letters or symbols.) a. m = 1,800 kg; v = 20 m/s b. m = 1,800 kg; v = 40 m/s c. m = 1,800 kg; v = 60 m/s d. m = 5,400…
Problem: Car B is traveling a distance d ahead of car A. Both cars are traveling at 60 ft/s when the driver of B suddenly applies the brakes, causing his car to decelerate at 12 ft/s^2. It takes the driver of car A 0.75 s to react (this is the normal reaction time for drivers). When he applies his brakes, he decelerates at 20 ft/s^2. (Figure 1_ Question: Determine the minimum distance d between the cars so as to avoid a collision. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
