Answer: a) 95.07m b) 81.88 m
Explanation:
a)
For finding the distance when vehicle is going downhill we have the formula as:
Stop sight distance= Velocity*Reaction time + Velocity² / 2*g*(f constant- Grade value)
Now by AASHTO, we have for v= 45 mph= 72.4 kph, f= 0.31
Reaction time= 0.28
So putting values we get
Stop sight distance= 0.28*72.4 *1 +
Stop sight distance= 95.07 m
b)
For finding the distance when vehicle is going uphill we have the formula as:
Stop sight distance= Velocity*Reaction time + Velocity² / 2*g*(f constant- Grade value)
Now by AASHTO, we have for v= 45 mph= 72.4 kph, f= 0.31
Reaction time= 0.28
So putting values we get
Stop sight distance= 0.28*72.4 *1 +
Stop sight distance= 81.88 m
