Overtaking Space Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Overtaking Space = 0.7*Vehicle Speed+6
s = 0.7*V_speed+6
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Overtaking Space - (Measured in Meter) - Overtaking Space is the minimum distance required for a vehicle to overtake another vehicle safely without colliding with oncoming traffic.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

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

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

s = 0.7*V_speed+6 --> 0.7*6.88+6

Evaluating ... ...

s = 10.816

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

10.816 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

10.816 Meter <-- Overtaking Space

What is Overtaking Space?

Overtaking space is the extra lateral and longitudinal space required on a road for one vehicle or person to safely pass another traveling in the same direction. This space ensures safety by accounting for vehicle size, speed, and the need for a safe buffer. Adequate overtaking space helps maintain smooth traffic flow and reduces the risk of accidents during passing maneuvers, especially on high-speed roads or in dense traffic.

How to Calculate Overtaking Space?

Overtaking Space calculator uses Overtaking Space = 0.7*Vehicle Speed+6 to calculate the Overtaking Space, Overtaking Space formula is defined as the minimum distance required by a driver to overtake another vehicle safely, taking into account the speed of the vehicle and the sight distance available, ensuring a safe and smooth overtaking maneuver. Overtaking Space is denoted by s symbol.

How to calculate Overtaking Space using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Overtaking Space, enter Vehicle Speed (V_speed) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Overtaking Space calculation can be explained with given input values -> 15.716 = 0.7*6.88+6.

FAQ

What is Overtaking Space?

Overtaking Space formula is defined as the minimum distance required by a driver to overtake another vehicle safely, taking into account the speed of the vehicle and the sight distance available, ensuring a safe and smooth overtaking maneuver and is represented as s = 0.7*V_speed+6 or Overtaking Space = 0.7*Vehicle Speed+6. Vehicle Speed is the rate at which a vehicle travels and is used to calculate the distance a vehicle can travel before stopping.

How to calculate Overtaking Space?

Overtaking Space formula is defined as the minimum distance required by a driver to overtake another vehicle safely, taking into account the speed of the vehicle and the sight distance available, ensuring a safe and smooth overtaking maneuver is calculated using Overtaking Space = 0.7*Vehicle Speed+6. To calculate Overtaking Space, you need Vehicle Speed (V_speed). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Vehicle Speed and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
