stations for the point of curvature and point of tangency and ~ii other relevant

There are 4 (Four) Questions. Answer 3 (Tliree questions including Question no. 1, i.e., Question no. 1 is compulsory.
The examination is online and OPEN BOOK. Keep your camera on focusing your face throughout the examination.
Submit your answer script in PDF format, include your student ID in the name of the file and submit it to Google
Classroom. You will have 10 minutes to complete your submission. Make all necessary arrangements to ensure timely
submission. Assume all values as needed.

l(a) Distinguish carpool, ride-sharing, ride-sourcing. (1)

(b) Take any major intersection of Dhaka city (mention it's location and draw a schematic diagram (3)
first) that has congestion and safety issues and improve it. Present your results with a diagram.
(c) If you are asked to develop a gap acceptance model for road crossing in front of IUT campus, (1)
what steps will you be following to complete the assignment?

2. A sag vertical curve joins a -X% grade and a +Y % grade. If the vertical point of intersection of ( 10)
the grades is at station (40000+ LL) and has an elevation of 250 ft, determine the station and
elevation of the vertical point of curve and vertical point of tangent for a design speed of 70
mph. Compute the elevation on the curve at 100-ft intervals and draw it on paper. Also, what
should be the maximum allowable length of the grade? Assume rational values for Z and Y as
need. LL is the last two digits of your student ID.

3. Design the horizontal alighment and cross section of a Type 1 highway of the Roads and (10)
Highways Department of Bangladesh which is connected to a roundabout. The highway section
passes through a hilly region. Here are the outputs that you will produce: i) Horizontal layout
mentioning the lane width, bus layby location and spacing, bicycle lane and pedestrian walkway,
median, guard rail/concepts of forgiving highways, road marking and placement of road signs
(type and spacing); ii) Draw the cross-section for i).

4. A transportation engineer has designed a X-lane access-controlled highway having standard lane (10)
width which accommodates a horizontal curve of Y 0 . The engineer introduced a spiral curve to
negotiate the Z¾ superelevation. The highway's design speed is M mph. The angle of deflection
for the original tangents is 35°, and the P.I. is at station lO00+LL. Superelevation will be
achieved by rotating all lanes around the inside edge of the pavement. Mathematically and
diagrammatically demonstrate (showing the chainage on horizontal layout) how the
superelevation will be achieved. Also, calculate the maximum allowable speed on the horizontal
curve. Assume rational values for Z, Y, Z and M as need. LL is the last two digits of your
