Conduct detailed research on road safety, including definitions, stopping distance formula, factors affecting braking, data analysis based on sources like textbooks and highway code, car design changes to minimize pedestrian injuries, crash barriers enhancements, road surface improvements, and other safety measures.
E N D
Question 1 • Find definitions • What is the formula for Stopping Distance?
Question 2 • Find out the factors from: • Textbook • Notes • Revision guide
Question 3 • Draw a graph or a table of the data • Find out what the data is based on: • Check the Highway Code • Braking? • Weather? • Road surface?
Question 3b • Calculate Stopping Distance for 80mph • Show how you did it
Question 4 • Changes to car design to minimise pedestrian injuries: • Bull bars • Soft bumpers • Lorry under-bars • Headlight design • Pop-up bonnets • Banning bonnet mascots
Question 5a • Crash barriers and road surface: • Improvements to crash barriers • Cambering on roads • Road surface • Drainage • Materials
Question 5b • Other road safety improvements: • Lines • Cats eyes • Rumble strips • Energy absorbing road signs • Removing junctions egHaughley Bends • Removing “clutter” – Dutch experiment • Adding energy absorbing run-off areas
