Stopping Sight Distance given Lag Distance and Braking Distance Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Sight Stopping Distance = Lag Distance+Braking Distance
SSD = LD+l
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Sight Stopping Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Sight Stopping Distance is the maximum distance a driver can see and stop before colliding with an object or pedestrian on the road ahead.
Lag Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Lag Distance is the distance a vehicle travels from the time the driver sees an object to the time the vehicle comes to a stop.
Braking Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Braking Distance is the distance travelled by the vehicle at the point where brake is applied to the point where it stops.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Lag Distance: 13.4 Meter --> 13.4 Meter No Conversion Required
Braking Distance: 48 Meter --> 48 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

SSD = LD+l --> 13.4+48

Evaluating ... ...

SSD = 61.4

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

61.4 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

61.4 Meter <-- Sight Stopping Distance
