Braking Distance of Vehicle during Braking Operation Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Braking Distance = Velocity^2/(2*[g]*Coefficient of Friction)
l = v_vehicle^2/(2*[g]*f)
This formula uses 1 Constants, 3 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Variables Used

Braking Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Braking Distance is the distance travelled by the vehicle at the point where brake is applied to the point where it stops.
Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity is the speed at which a vehicle is traveling, typically measured at a specific point in time or over a certain distance.
Coefficient of Friction - Coefficient of Friction is a dimensionless value that characterizes the frictional force between two surfaces in contact, affecting the sight distance on a road.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

What is Braking Distance?

Braking distance is the distance a vehicle travels from the moment the brakes are applied until it comes to a complete stop. This distance depends on factors like the vehicle's speed, road conditions, brake efficiency, and tire traction. Higher speeds and slippery surfaces increase braking distance, making it essential for drivers to maintain safe following distances, especially in adverse weather. Braking distance is a key part of stopping sight distance, contributing to overall road safety by ensuring drivers can stop in time to avoid collisions.
