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 driver driving at 69 kph at a straight flat portion of the highway suddenly encounters an obstruction. He applies his brakes. If the coefficient of friction of the roadway to the tires is equal to 0.5, calculate the maximum safe distance (rounded to the nearest meters) the driver can apply his brakes to avoid collision.

A car is approaching toward an intersection with speed 45 mph. The road has a downhill grade of 1%. When the car is at a distance of 250 ft from the intersection, the signal turned yellow. If the driver applies brake and the reaction time of the driver is 1.5 s, will the driver be able to come to a complete stop? Justify your answer with calculations. Assume braking friction coefficient of 0.35.
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)
