Intermediate Sight Distance Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Intermediate Sight Distance = 2*Stopping Sight Distance
ISD = 2*SSD
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Intermediate Sight Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Intermediate sight distance is defined as the distance required by the vehicle to stop the vehicle before accident.
Stopping Sight Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Stopping Sight Distance is defined as distance provided on the road before a sharp turn.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Stopping Sight Distance: 160 Meter --> 160 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

ISD = 2*SSD --> 2*160

Evaluating ... ...

ISD = 320

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

320 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

320 Meter <-- Intermediate Sight Distance
