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

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Minimum Spacing between Vehicles during Overtaking = ((Time taken for Overtaking Operation^2)*Acceleration)/4
s = ((T^2)*a)/4
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Minimum Spacing between Vehicles during Overtaking - (Measured in Meter) - Minimum Spacing between Vehicles during Overtaking is the minimum distance between the two vehicles required at the time of overtaking.
Time taken for Overtaking Operation - (Measured in Second) - Time taken for Overtaking Operation is the time taken by fast moving vehicle to overtake the slow moving vehicle.
Acceleration - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity to the change in time.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Time taken for Overtaking Operation: 7.8 Second --> 7.8 Second No Conversion Required
Acceleration: 0.9 Meter per Square Second --> 0.9 Meter per Square Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

s = ((T^2)*a)/4 --> ((7.8^2)*0.9)/4

Evaluating ... ...

s = 13.689

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

13.689 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

13.689 Meter <-- Minimum Spacing between Vehicles during Overtaking

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
