Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If a leader vehicle accelerates from rest at 3 m/s² for 4 seconds, calculate its final velocity and distance traveled. Assuming a following vehicle has an initial distance headway of 50 meters, simulate its behavior using General Motors' model where s=1, m=0, α=10.

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship of acceleration and the equations of motion.

Question 2

Evaluate how an increase in reaction time would alter the following distance during different driving conditions (low speed vs high speed).

💡 Hint: Think about how stopping distances change based on speed and reaction time.
