Stopping Sight Distance given Intermediate Sight Distance Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

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

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Intermediate Sight Distance: 320 Meter --> 320 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

SSD = ISD/2 --> 320/2
