Transportation Engineering

1. The time required for a driver to realize that

brakes must be applied. Perception Time
2. It is the typical application of a transverse pairs of
solid white lines 150 mm or more in width, spaced
1.8 m or more apart as pavement markings.
Pedestrian Cross Walks
3. The actual distance along the road surface, which a
driver from a specified height above the
carriageway has visibility of stationary or moving
object. Sight Distance
4. The minimum sight distance available on a highway
to stop a vehicle travelling at design speed, safely
without collision with any other obstruction.
Stopping Sight Distance
5. The distance travelled by the vehicle during the
total reaction time. Lag Distance
6. PIEV- Perception Time, Intellection Time, Emotion
Time & Volition Time
7. It is the time required for the sensations received
by the eyes or ears to be transmitted to the brain
through the nervous system. Perception Time
8. It is the time required for understanding the
situation. Intellection Time
9. It is time elapsed during emotional sensations &
disturbance such as fear, anger, etc. with
reference to the situation. Emotion Time
10. It is the time taken for the final action. Volition
Time
11. What do you call the measure of the subgrade
strength which gives the resilient characteristics
of the soil when it is repeatedly loaded with an
axle load? Resilient Modulus
12. Hydrocarbons that are found in natural deposits or
are obtained as a product of the distillation of
crude petroleum. Bituminous Materials
13. The sub-process wherein the driver decides what
action to take in response to the stimulus. Emotion
14. The arcs made by the curbs at street
intersections. Curb returns
15. Complete the analogy. Arc definition: Streets,
Chord definition: Railroads
16. It refers to the sum of yellow and all-red period in
between phases. Clearance interval
17. Geometric improvement normally applied at
intersections to simplify movements of vehicles to
lead drivers to face one conflict at a time.
Channelization
18. A spiral that serves as a transition path as the
vehicle enters or leaves a circular curve. Clothoid
19. The area between the roadway or outer roadway if
frontage roads are included and the right of way
line, utilized for sidewalks, drainage, public
utilities, landscaping and as an insulation strip
between the pavement and the property
development fronting the highway. Border
20. Geometric improvement normally applied at
intersections to simplify movements of vehicles to
lead drivers to face one conflict at a time.
Channelization
21.
