A traffic control system is designed to control the distance between vehicles, as shown in Figure DP6.5 [15].
(a) Determine the range of gain K for which the system is stable.
(b) If Km is the maximum value of K so that the characteristic roots are on the yω-axis, then let K = Km/N, where 6 Figure DP6.5
