Reva institute of Technology and Management Bangalore -560064 TEST PAPER TEST NO. : Internal Assessment 1 COURSE /BRANCH: M Tech/Transportation Engineering SUBJECT TITLE: Traffic Engineering 1 Answer any SIX full questions Assume missing data suitably (Try to write relevant points) 1 2 3 Define Traffic Engineering and point its key elements. Briefly describe the basic functions of a traffic engineer How does visual acuity and lateral displacement affect the design decision in Traffic Engineering? Illustrate your answer by one practical example. A car weighing 1200 kg, with a frontal area of 2.38 m2 and co-efficient of air resistance of 0.37 kg/cm2 was driven on a bituminous surface. If at maximum speed, 25 HP is required to overcome rolling and air resistance, determine the cars maximum speed. Explain the various resistance those affect the power performance of a vehicle. a) Sketch a simplified framework of a model to understand human-vehicle-environment system. (Sketch only) b) A vehicle moving at 40 m/s speed was stopped by applying brake and the length of skid marks was 12.2 m. If the average skid resistance of pavement is 0.7, determine brake efficiency? 6 7 Bring out the relationship between speed, acceleration and distance traveled by a vehicle with time for Uniform acceleration and Non-uniform acceleration. a) A driver of a car applied brakes and barely avoided hitting an obstacle on the road. The vehicle left skid marks of 26.82 m. Assuming f=0.60, determine whether the driver was in violation of 72 kmph speed limit at that location, if the driver was travelling a) Uphill on a 3 incline b) On a level road c) downhill on 3% gradient b) A driver with 20/20 vision can read a sign from a distance of 90 ft. If the letter size is 2 inch, how close would a person with 20/40 vision have to be in order to read same sign?. For the given definition of normal vision, calculate height of lettering that a driver with 20/60 vision can read from a distance of 90 ft and 45 ft. 8 a) Indicate the maximum dimensions and weight of vehicles allowed in India, as specified by I.R.C. b) Briefly describe the PIEV theory and indicate the factors which modify the normal reaction time.
