Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a scenario in congested conditions where vehicles are spaced closely. If the following vehicle has a sensitivity factor of 2, calculate how quickly the driver should adjust their speed given a sudden increase in the leading vehicle's speed by 10 km/h.

💡 Hint: Focus on the relationship of speed adjustments with sensitivity.

Question 2

Analyze the difference in following behavior in heavy rain using the Optimal Velocity Model. How would a driver's response change if their sensitivity coefficient increased?

💡 Hint: Consider environmental factors and their impact on driving behavior.
