Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A vehicle is experiencing skidding when turning during rainy conditions. Calculate the minimum speed that can be preserved without skidding given a friction coefficient of 0.25.

💡 Hint: Think about how the radius of the curve will affect speed limits.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design a cross-section for a new road considering unevenness measurements, estimated traffic loads, and required camber. Present your calculations and design rationale.

💡 Hint: Consider the impacts of failing to meet design standards.
