Vehicle speed measurement generally uses radar to measure speed. The principle is to calculate the frequency shift of the received reflected wave to determine the moving speed of the measured object. In addition, vehicle speed measurement can also be done through methods such as loop speed measurement, video speed measurement, microwave radar speed measurement, and acoustic speed measurement. The following is a related introduction to speed measurement: Speed measurement methods: Highway interval speed measurement refers to setting up two adjacent speed measurement points on the same road section. By measuring the time it takes for a vehicle to pass the two speed measurement points, the average driving speed of the vehicle on that road section is calculated. Based on the speed limit standard of that road section, it is determined whether the vehicle is speeding, making it more scientific and fair. Principle of interval speed measurement: A certain distance on the highway will have two cameras, usually covering a 30-kilometer interval. When a vehicle passes the two cameras, electronic equipment records the time it takes for the vehicle to travel this distance, thereby determining whether the driver is speeding.

Do I need to apply for a corresponding qualification certificate to drive a small truck?

Currently, no corresponding qualification certificate is required to drive a small truck. The following is a detailed introduction about the exemption of qualification certificates for small trucks: 1. Background: Since January 2019, ordinary freight vehicles of 4.5 tons and below no longer require a road transport permit and a driver's vocational qualification certificate. However, for ordinary freight vehicles that are not 4.5 tons and below, the vehicle still needs to apply for a road transport permit and a driver's vocational qualification certificate, otherwise it will be considered as unlicensed operation. 2. Benefits of canceling the corresponding qualification certificate for small trucks: It can effectively reduce the financial and time costs for small truck owners. On one hand, canceling the "dual certificates" saves the cost of applying for certificates. On the other hand, canceling the "dual certificates" eliminates the need for an annual review, saving time.

Which One is the Foot Brake in an Automatic Transmission Car?

In an automatic transmission car, the foot brake is generally located at the position of the left foot. Family cars usually use a handbrake or an electronic handbrake, while the foot brake is a relatively uncommon braking method, typically found in some Japanese car models. Handbrakes are more commonly used in cars, with the traditional handbrake being a prevalent braking method due to its lower manufacturing cost. The traditional handbrake employs a steel wire cable connected to the rear brake shoes to brake the vehicle, mainly consisting of a brake lever, cable, brake mechanism, and return spring. Compared to the traditional handbrake, the foot brake requires less effort to use and has the advantage of saving space on the car's center console. It's important to note that due to this design, many car owners often forget to release the foot brake before driving.

What Causes a Motorcycle to Fail to Start with a Ticking Sound?

Motorcycle fails to start with ticking sound due to the following reasons: 1. Fuel system malfunction: Mainly caused by fuel switch not delivering fuel, clogged fuel filter, carburetor not supplying fuel or overly rich air-fuel mixture, and bent fuel pipe issues. 2. Electrical circuit malfunction: Short circuit in vehicle electrical components (e.g., ignition switch, ignition coil, CDI unit, and magneto failure), or open circuit caused by loose wiring harness connectors. 3. Air pressure malfunction: Insufficient cylinder compression, improper air intake resistance of air filter element, engine intake/exhaust system malfunctions, etc. 4. For the above issues: It is recommended to take the motorcycle to a professional repair shop for inspection and repair.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise Heard After Opening the Car Window?

If this situation occurs, it may be due to small stones stuck in the tire tread or a nail puncturing the tire. In such cases, it is essential to inspect the tires. Here are the detailed introductions about tires: 1. Introduction: Tires are a crucial component of a car, directly affecting the vehicle's driving safety and stability. As the only part of the car that comes into contact with the ground, tires play a vital role. 2. Regular Replacement: Tires are made of rubber, and rubber products tend to age over time with prolonged use. Therefore, tires need to be replaced regularly. Under normal circumstances, tires installed on a car can last for about four years, so it is recommended to replace them every four years.

Is running a new car engine at 5000 RPM harmful?

Generally, running a car engine at 5000 RPM is not harmful. Engine protection mechanisms are quite robust, and if the engine operates under extreme conditions, fuel cutoff protection measures are usually activated. Below are the hazards of excessively high or low RPM: Hazards of excessively high RPM: Occasionally reaching 5000 RPM may not harm the engine, but maintaining such high RPM for prolonged periods can significantly increase fuel consumption. Hazards of excessively low RPM: However, don't assume that low RPM is good for the engine. For typical family car driving, the engine RPM usually varies between 2500-3500 RPM, with idle speeds generally around 800-1500 RPM. If the engine RPM is too low, fuel combustion in the cylinders becomes incomplete, leading to carbon buildup, which can cause more severe engine damage over time.

How to Identify Reference Points on the Hood for Subject 2 Driving Test?

Subject 2 hood reference points include the top vertex of the hood, the one-third point of the hood, the midpoint of the hood, the right one-third point of the hood, and the right vertex of the hood. Below are some key explanations for Subject 2: 1. Lower edge of the rearview mirror: Primarily used to determine parking positions. For example, during reverse parking, when the front yellow line of the parking space aligns with the lower edge of the rearview mirror, the student should brake to stop; continuing to reverse further would risk crossing the line. 2. Student's shoulder: In right-angle turns, if it's a right turn, the student must immediately turn the steering wheel fully to the right when their shoulder aligns with the right corner line. 3. Rear wheels on both sides of the vehicle: Helps students gauge whether the parking position is appropriate during reverse parking.
