Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle = Vehicle Speed*Reaction Time
d₁ = V_speed*t_reaction
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle - (Measured in Meter) - Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle is the distance traveled by the overtaking vehicle during the time the passing vehicle occupies the gap in sight distance.
Vehicle Speed - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Vehicle Speed is the rate at which a vehicle travels and is used to calculate the distance a vehicle can travel before stopping.
Reaction Time - (Measured in Second) - Reaction Time is the time taken by a driver to react to a situation and apply the brakes, affecting the total stopping distance of a vehicle.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Vehicle Speed: 6.88 Meter per Second --> 6.88 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Reaction Time: 10 Second --> 10 Second No Conversion Required

What is Overtaking Distance?

Overtaking distance is the total distance needed for a vehicle to safely pass a slower vehicle and return to its lane without risk of collision. This distance includes the space required for the overtaking vehicle to accelerate, move alongside, pass the slower vehicle, and merge back into the lane while maintaining a safe buffer. Overtaking distance depends on the speeds of both vehicles, road conditions, and the presence of oncoming traffic, making it essential for safe passing maneuvers on two-lane roads and highways.

How to Calculate Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle?

Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle calculator uses Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle = Vehicle Speed*Reaction Time to calculate the Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle, Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle formula is defined as the distance covered by a vehicle while overtaking another vehicle, taking into account the speed of the overtaking vehicle and the reaction time of the driver, providing a critical measure of safety on the road, particularly in situations where sight distance is limited. Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle is denoted by d₁ symbol.

How to calculate Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle, enter Vehicle Speed (V_speed) & Reaction Time (t_reaction) and hit the calculate button.
