Solution:

The design speed of a two-lane two-way road is 60 km/h and the longitudinal coefficient of friction is 0.36. The reaction time of a driver is 2.5 seconds. Consider acceleration due to gravity as 9.8 m/s2. The intermediate sight distance (in m, round off to the nearest integer) required for the load is___.

Solution:

A motorist travelling at 100 km/h on a highway needs to take the next exit, which has a speed limit of 50 km/h. The section of the roadway before the ramp entry has a downgrade of 3% and coefficient of friction (f) is 0.35. In order to enter the ramp at the maximum allowable speed limit the braking distance (up tp 2 decimal places, expressed in m) from the exit ramp is______.

Solution:

A broad gauge railway line passes through a horizontal curved section (radius = 875m) of length 200m. The allowable speed on this portion is 100 km/h. For calculating the cant, consider the gauge as centre-to-centre distance between the rail heads, equal to 1750 mm. The maximum permissible cant (in mm, round off to 1 decimal place) with respect to the centre-to-centre distance between the rail heads is_______.

Solution:
