 Braking Distance
The braking distance is made up of the uniform movement during the reaction (reaction time) and the delayed movement during the actual braking action (braking distance). Please take note of the conversion from km/h to
meters/sec!
| Uniform | + | Delayed movement |
s = | sR | + | sB |
s = | v · tR | + | v²
2 · a
|
s = | v · tR | + | v · tB
2 |
s: Stopping distance in m (meter)
sR: Reaction distance in m (meter)
sB: Braking distance in m (meter)
v: Velocity in m/s
tR: Reaction time in s (seconds)
tB: Braking time in s (seconds)
a: Braking deceleration in m/s²
