The document provides an exam for a Transportation Engineering course, including multiple choice questions covering topics like stopping sight distance, factors that determine maximum road speeds, and components of driver perception-reaction time. Students are instructed to answer the multiple choice questions on the first page and solve four of the six-mark questions. The six-mark questions cover topics such as obligatory points in road alignment, the purpose of camber in pavements, calculating passing sight distances, and determining minimum sight distances to avoid collisions on graded roads.

Solve any four questions each carry six marks.
1. Explain obligatory points. With sketches, discuss how these control the alignment. 2. Explain camber. What are the objects of camber? Specify the recommended ranges of camber for different types of pavement surfaces. 3. The speeds of overtaking and overtaken vehicle are 80kmph and 60 kmph respectively. If the acceleration of the overtaking vehicle is 2.5kmph per second, calculate the safe passing sight distance for the following conditions: a) One-way traffic b) two-way traffic. 4. List the object of providing extra widening with neat sketch. 5. Calculate the length of transition curve using the following data: Design speed=80Kmph, Radius of circular curve=250m, pavement width including extra widening=7.8m, allowable rate of superelevation=1 in 150 (pavement rotated about the inner edge). 6. Two cars are approaching from opposite directions of a road with a gradient of two percent, with velocities of 90 kmph and 75 kmph respectively. Calculate the minimum sight distance required to avoid head on collision of both the cars. Reaction time of the driver is 2.5 sec and the coefficient of friction is 0.35.
