The speed of overtaking and overtaken vehicles are 90 Kmph and 72 Kmph respectively. Calculate the overtaking sight distance. Assume acceleration of overtaking vehicle as 0.8 m/s2 and traffic stream moves in one way.
A car moves at a speed of 90 Kmph on a road having 5% downward gradient. If the reaction time of the driver is 2 seconds, assuming that f = 0.15, calculate the distance moved by the vehicle before the car stops finally after the brakes are applied ? Take g = 10 m/s2
Distance moved by the vehicle before the car stops finally after the brakes are applied = Braking Distance.
Braking Distance for downward gradient

The consistency and flow resistance of bitumen can be determined from which of the following?
Ductility Test- Distance in cm to which a standard briquette of size 10mm x 10mm can be stretched before the thread breaks at a standard temperature.
Penetration Test- Represents hardness/softness of bitumen by measuring the depth of penetration 1/10 of mm to which a standard needle carrying a weight of 100 gram penetrates in 5 seconds.
Softening point Test- The temperature at which a standard ball passes through the sample of bitumen and falls when heated under water or glycerine. It represents the fluidity of binder.
Viscosity Test- It is the time taken in seconds by 50ml of material to flow through the container to a specified orifice of size 10mm under standard conditions and temperature.

A district road with a bituminous pavement has a horizontal curve of 1000 m for a design speed of 75 km ph. The super-elevation is
A mixture contains coarse aggregates (GS = 2.7), fine aggregates (GS = 2.9), Mineral filler (GS = 1.5) in the proportion 50:40:10 (by weight). These materials are mixed with bitumen (GS = 1.2) and compacted, the unit
weight becomes 2300 Kg/m3 and contains 5% voids. Calculate the voids in mineral aggregates for the given specimen?
A two Lane urban road with one way traffic has a maximum capacity of 2000 vehicles/hour. Under the jam condition the average length occupied by the vehicles is 5m. The speed versus density relationship is
linear. For a traffic volume of 1200 vehicles per hour, the density (in vehicles/Km) is:
Under Jam condition average spacing between vehicles = 5m
Number of vehicles per Lane per Km
vehicles/Km
traffic density is 73.5 vehicles/Km
An observer counts 300 vehicles/hour at a specific highway location. Assume that the vehicle arrival at the Location is Poisson’s distribution, the probability of having one vehicle arriving over a 30 second time interval is.......

On a specific highway, the speed density relationship follows the Greenberg’s Model 
, where vf and KJ are the free flow speed and jam density respectively when the highway is operating at capacity, the density obtained as per this model is:
Stop sign is an example of a regulatory sign . Although regulatory signs are circular in shapes but stop sign is an exception having octagonal shape.
