Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A bus traveling at 15 m/s suddenly needs to stop on a wet road with a coefficient of friction of 0.3. Calculate the braking distance. Assume that the bus should stop completely.

💡 Hint: Substitute the values accurately into the distance equation.

Question 2

Design a traffic signal timing plan for an intersection where average vehicle speeds are 20 m/s. Consider that the vehicles require a stopping sight distance of 60 meters.

💡 Hint: Factor in extra time to account for driver reaction time.
