Overtaking Sight Distance given Distance Traveled Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Overtaking Sight Distance = Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle+Distance of Actual Overtaking+Distance Traveled by On-Coming Vehicle
OSD = d₁+d₂+d₃
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Overtaking Sight Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Overtaking Sight Distance is the minimum distance required for a vehicle to overtake another vehicle safely without colliding with oncoming traffic.
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.
Distance of Actual Overtaking - (Measured in Meter) - Distance of Actual Overtaking is the maximum distance at which an overtaking vehicle can safely pass another vehicle without colliding.
Distance Traveled by On-Coming Vehicle - (Measured in Meter) - Distance Traveled by On-Coming Vehicle is the distance traveled by an on-coming vehicle during the time a driver takes to react and stop.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle: 68.8 Meter --> 68.8 Meter No Conversion Required
Distance of Actual Overtaking: 96.7248 Meter --> 96.7248 Meter No Conversion Required
Distance Traveled by On-Coming Vehicle: 42.7248 Meter --> 42.7248 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

OSD = d₁+d₂+d₃ --> 68.8+96.7248+42.7248

Evaluating ... ...

OSD = 208.2496

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

208.2496 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

208.2496 Meter <-- Overtaking Sight Distance

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What is Overtaking sight distance?

Overtaking sight distance is the minimum distance a driver needs to see ahead while attempting to overtake another vehicle safely. This distance allows the driver to judge whether there is sufficient space and time to complete the maneuver without the risk of a collision with oncoming traffic. Overtaking sight distance is influenced by factors such as vehicle speed, road curvature, and visibility conditions. Ensuring adequate overtaking sight distance on roads is essential for safe driving and preventing accidents during overtaking maneuvers.

How to Calculate Overtaking Sight Distance given Distance Traveled?
