Solution:

In a three-phase signal system design for a four-leg intersection, the critical flow ratios for each phase are 0.18, 0.32, and 0.22. The total loss time in each of the phases is 2 sec. As per websters formula, the optimal cycle length (in sec) is

Solution:

A car is moving at a speed of 72 kmph on a road having 2% upward gradient. The driver applies brakes when he sees an obstruction. If his reaction time is 1.5 sec, assuming that the coefficient of friction between the pavement and the tyre as 0.15, calculate the distance traversed before the car finally stops.
