Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a driving scenario where a vehicle is following another. The leader accelerates, and the follower must adjust their speed accordingly. Analyze the adjustments based on the General Motors’ model and calculate required gaps at various speeds.

💡 Hint: Use the relationship from the vehicle ahead to determine safe following distances at different speeds.

Question 2

Create a simulation model based on the Optimal Velocity Model. Consider the distance headway and speed of the following vehicle. Predict how varying these parameters affects overall traffic flow.

💡 Hint: Focus on the relationship between speed differences and the subsequent adjustments to velocity.
