Overtaking Sight Distance given Minimum Overtaking Distance Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Overtaking Sight Distance on road = Minimum Length of OSD/3
OSD = D/3
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Overtaking Sight Distance on road - (Measured in Meter) - Overtaking Sight Distance on road is minimum distance open to the vision of the driver of a vehicle intending to overtake slow moving vehicle with safety.
Minimum Length of OSD - (Measured in Meter) - Minimum length of OSD is the minimum distance open to the vision of the driver of a vehicle intending to overtake the slow vehicle ahead safely against the traffic in the opposite direction.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Minimum Length of OSD: 834 Meter --> 834 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

OSD = D/3 --> 834/3

Evaluating ... ...

OSD = 278

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

278 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

278 Meter <-- Overtaking Sight Distance on road

Total Time of Travel in Overtaking Sight distance

LaTeX Go Time taken for Overtaking Operation = sqrt(4*Minimum Spacing between Vehicles during Overtaking/Acceleration)

Spacing between Vehicles given Total Time of Travel in Overtaking Sight distance

LaTeX Go Minimum Spacing between Vehicles during Overtaking = ((Time taken for Overtaking Operation^2)*Acceleration)/4

Acceleration of Vehicle given Total Time of Travel in Overtaking Sight distance

LaTeX Go Acceleration = (4*Minimum Spacing between Vehicles during Overtaking)/(Time taken for Overtaking Operation^2)

Velocity of Overtaking Vehicle for Forward Moving Vehicle Velocity in meter per second
