Problems 1:-

1. Calculate SSD for V =50kmph for (a) two-way traffic in a

two lane road (b) two-way traffic in single lane road.
(Hint: f=0.37, t=2.5) [Ans: (a)61.4 m (b) 122.8 m.
2. Given: V =50km/hr = 50*1000 =13.9m/s , f=0.37 ,
60*60
t=2.5sec
3. stopping distance=lag distance + braking distance

2 g (f  0.01n )
13.92
SD=13.9*2.5+
2*9.81(0.37)
Stopping Distance = 61.4 m
Stopping sight distance when there are two lanes = stopping
distance= 61.4m.
I.D.S=2*SD=2*61.4
Stopping sight distance for a two way traffic for a single lane =
2[stopping distance]=122.8m

2. Find minimum sight distance to avoid head-on collision of

two cars approaching at 90 kmph and 60 kmph.
Given t=2.5sec, f=0.7 and brake efficiency of 50 percent in
either case. (Hint: brake efficiency reduces the
Coefficient of friction by 50 percent). [Ans:
SD=153.6+82.2=235.8m]

Given: V1 =90 Km/hr= 90*1000 =25 m/sec. V2 = 60 Km/hr=

60*60
60*1000
=16.667 m/sec. t = 2.5sec. Braking efficiency=50%=0.5,
60*60
f=0.7 .

Coefficient of friction due to braking efficiency of 50% =

0.5*0.7=0.35.

SD1=25*2.5+
2*9.81(0.35)
Stopping sight distance of first
car= SD1= 153.6m

SD2=16.667*2.5+
2*9.81(0.35)
Stopping sight distance of second car= SD2= 82.2m
Stopping sight distance to avoid head on collision of the two
approaching cars SD1+ SD2=235.8m.

3. Find SSD for a descending gradient of 2% for V=80kmph.

[Ans: 132m].
Given: Gradient(n) = -2% ,V = 80 Km/hr= 80 *1000 200

SSD on road with gradient = 132m..

4. Find head light sight distance and intermediate sight distance

for V=65 kmph. (Hint: f=0.36, t=2.5 s,
HSD=SSD, ISD=2*SSD) [Ans: 91.4 and 182.8 m]

Given: V =65km/hr= 65 *1000

Headlight Sight distance = 91.4m.

Intermediate Sight distance= 2[SSD]= 182.8m.

5. Overtaking and overtaken vehicles are at 70 and 40 kmph

respectively. find (i) OSD (ii) min. and desirable
length of overtaking zone (iii) show the sketch of overtaking
zone with location of sign post (hint: a=0.99
m/sec2) [Ans: (i) 278 m (ii) 834 m/1390]

Vb=40kmph= 40*1000 =11.11 m/sec.

60*60
70*1000
V=70kmph= =19.44 m/sec.

S=0.7Vb+6=0.7*11.11+6
∴S=13.777m
4S 4*13.777

∴O.S.D=11.11*2+11.11*7.46+2*13.777+19.44*7.46=278m
Desirable length= 5* O.S.D=5*278=1390m
Min. length=3* O.S.D=3*278=834m

6. Calculate OSD for V=96 kmph. Assume all other data. (Hint:
Vb=96-16kmph. a=0.72, t=2.5s) [Ans:
OSD one way 342m, OSD two way 646m]

V=96kmph=
