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

An impatient car driver stuck behind a slow-moving truck traveling at 25 mi/h decides to overtake the truck. The accelerating characteristic of the car is given by: dv/dt=3-0.05v where v is the speed (ft/sec) and t is the time (0sec).
