Question 1

What defines distance headway?

  • Spacing between two vehicles
  • Time taken for a vehicle to pass
  • Number of vehicles in an area

💡 Hint: Reflect on what 'headway' implies.

Question 2

True or False: Higher density often results in longer distance headway.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how close cars get as density increases.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

In a traffic simulation, the density is observed to be 80 vehicles per km. If a new regulation permits a minimum distance headway of 15 meters, is this acceptable?

💡 Hint: Figure out the spacing and compare it to regulations.

Question 2

If you were an engineer tasked with redesigning a section of road with high traffic density, how would you address the issue of distance headway to improve safety?

💡 Hint: Think about physical changes that can lead to safer driving distances.
