Question 1

What does the sensitivity coefficient (α) measure?

  • Responsiveness to speed changes
  • Distance headway measures
  • Number of vehicles on the road

💡 Hint: Consider how quickly drivers can react to changes in speed.

Question 2

True or False: A following vehicle has no reaction time.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how long it takes to notice changes.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a leader vehicle that accelerates by 2 m/s² for 3 seconds, calculate the position of the leader at t = 3 seconds. If a following vehicle starts with a speed of 15 m/s and maintains a reaction time of 1 second, what speed will it be travelling at t = 3 seconds?

💡 Hint: First calculate the lead vehicle's position before determining the following vehicle's speed.

Question 2

Analyze the behavior of the following vehicle if the leader decelerates suddenly from 20 m/s to 10 m/s in 2 seconds. Calculate the new speed and position of the following vehicle assuming α = 10.

💡 Hint: Break the problem down into calculating the speed reduction and reaction time adjustments.
