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.

Question

The cars travel over a 60m section of highway at constant speeds of 19, 20,
and 25 m/s.

a. Compute the time mean speed.
b. Compute the space mean speed.
