The minimum sight distance available on a roadway should be sufficiently long to enable a vehicle traveling at or near the design speed to stop before reaching a stationary object in its path.2. Design speeds in rural areas are usually higher than in urban areas and the consequences of accidents and collisions at higher speeds are more severe.3. Warning systems can provide audible, visible or haptic(touch) cues to alert the driver to potentially unsafe conditions, after which the driver needs to take corrective action to avoid the hazard.考试课程： 班级： 姓名： 学号： - 密 - 封 - 线 - - 密 - 封 - 线 -4. After basic societal needs had generally been attended to, local communities could increasingly devote their efforts to enhancing their economic cultural, and technological development through trade links with other peoples and regions.5. Transport telematics, also known as intelligent transport systems(ITS), are concerned with the application of electronic information and control to improve transport.6. Comprehensive transportation planning, an integral part of total economic and social development, uses functional classification as an important planning tool.7. When a bridge, a building or some other such structure is being constructed, the concrete is normally expected to carry only the compressive stresses, which are produced, and reinforcing steel is incorporated in the structure to withstand the tensile stresses.8. A survey does not give a definitive description of a situation for ever and a day and, if the results are to be used as representative of normal traffic conditions, the survey must be defined with care and the information used with caution.9. The emphasis of systems planning is on the whole system rather than individual parts, and it is of greatest value where the location of components affects the usage and performance of other components in the system.10. The trend toward smaller automobiles and larger trucks has created a major problem on the highways, a problem that is aggravated by increases in motorcycle use; on many roads, bicycles and mopeds are added to the problem.三、段落翻译：（共5题，每题7分）1 Even if it were possible to analyze these stresses exactly, it is doubtful whether in normal road construction the inclusion of sufficient steel in a road slab to completely resist the stresses would be justified; not only is it not necessary from a safety aspect, but it is probably not an economical proposition either, since with modern construction methods additional load-carrying capacity could probably be secured at less cost by using additional thickness of concrete than by using the relatively large amounts of steel needed to increase the pavements flexural strength to the same extent. 第 1 页(共 2 页)2. Decision sight distance is the distance required for a driver to detect an unexpected or otherwise difficult-to-perceive information source or hazard in a roadway environment that may be visally cluttered, recognize the hazard or its threat potential, select an appropriate speed and path, and initiate and complete the required safety maneuver safely and efficiently.3. Indeed, if the pavement is on a good foundation the riding quality of the road may be so little affected that the only obvious damage is the aesthetic one of unsightly cracks in the surface. As a result the generally accepted design approach has been primarily to include only sufficient reinforcing steel to minimize the development of cracks and only secondly to regard the steel as taking any of the induced tensile stress.4. Again, transport provided the mobility required for such intertribal, international, and finally intercontinental cultural exchange and trade. During all of this gradual development toward an organized human society, represented today through the international family of nations, transport as physical process of moving people and goods, thus promoting such development, continuously underwent technological and organizational changes.5. Control assistance systems provide automatic control of a portion of the driving function to assist the driver by relieving workload(e.g., adapti
