Determine the sight distance leg along the railroad tracks in ft. A two lane road crosses an at grade railroad track at 90°. If the design speed of the two lane road is 50 mi/h and the velocity of the train when crossing the highway is 90 mi/h, determine the sight distance leg (in ft) along the railroad tracks to permit a vehicle traveling at the design speed to safely cross the tracks when a train is observed at a...
Stopping sight distance (SSD) is defined as the distance needed for a driver to see an object on the roadway and then stop before colliding with it. It's composed of the distance to react on first seeing the object and then the distance to stop after the brake is engaged. The following is a formula for determining stopping sight distance: ssi) = (. | c:/ + |-. SSD is the stopping sight distance (m or ft e is the conversion...
1. Find the stopping sight distance (in feet) for traveling downhill at a grade of 3% and speed of 60 mph, assuming driver’s perception and reaction time of 2.5 sec and a deceleration rate of 9.3 ft/s2. 2. A temporary diversion has been constructed on a highway of +3% grade due to major repairs that are being undertaken on a bridge. The maximum speed allowed on the diversion is 25 mi/h. Determine the minimum distance from the diversion that a...
Problem 1 (15vpts) A proposed highway has two tangents of bearings N 75° 54' 36" E and N 53° 22' 30" W. The highway design engineer, attempting to obtain the best fit for the simple circular curve to join these tangents, decides that the external ordinate is to be 78.00 ft. The Pl is at station 65+43.21. Determine: (a) The external angle of the curve (A) (b) The radius of the curve (d) The station of the PC (f) The...

Problem 4. A section of a two-lane highway has 12-ft lanes and a design speed of 75 mi/h. The section contains a vertical curve and a horizontal curve. The vertical curve connects a-2.5% grade and a +1.5% grade. The PVT of this vertical curve is at station 36 + 50. The PC of the horizontal curve is located 294 ft before the PVC of the vertical curve. The horizontal curve has superelevation of 8% and central angle of 38 degrees....
