Solve on paper handwriting please else downvote
A two-way and two-lane roadway is heavily travelled by trucks and semi-trailers. Therefore, the design length of an overtaken vehicle is 22 m. The design speed of the roadway is 80 km/h. Determine the overtaking distance required for a car, if the design acceleration of the car 2 m/s2 on a flat route with 0% slope. The following distance before overtaking is given by the empirically stated equation of d=0.4v where d is in meters and v is in km/h (speed of the car that is followed). The distance between the overtaking car and the overtaken vehicle is also d=0.4v. The speed of the car coming from the opposite direction is 80 km/h. The safety distance between the overtaking car and the car coming from the opposite direction after the completion of overtaking is 90 m. Draw a sketch and estimate the required overtaking distance.
