Vehicle Speed given Overtaking Space Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Vehicle Speed = (Overtaking Space-6)/0.7
V_speed = (s-6)/0.7
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

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.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Overtaking Space: 27 Meter --> 27 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_speed = (s-6)/0.7 --> (27-6)/0.7

Evaluating ... ...

V_speed = 30

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

30 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

30 Meter per Second <-- Vehicle Speed

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Actual Overtaking Distance

LaTeX Go Distance of Actual Overtaking = 2*Overtaking Space+Vehicle Speed*sqrt((4*Overtaking Space)/Overtaking Acceleration)

Distance Traveled by On-Coming Vehicle

LaTeX Go Distance Traveled by On-Coming Vehicle = Vehicle Speed*Actual Overtaking Time

Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle

LaTeX Go Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle = Vehicle Speed*Reaction Time

Overtaking Space

LaTeX Go Overtaking Space = 0.7*Vehicle Speed+6

Overtaking Space

Overtaking space refers to a section of a road or highway where a driver can safely and legally pass another vehicle that is traveling more slowly. This space typically exists in lanes designated for overtaking or passing, such as the leftmost lane on a multi-lane highway.

How to Calculate Vehicle Speed given Overtaking Space?

Vehicle Speed given Overtaking Space calculator uses Vehicle Speed = (Overtaking Space-6)/0.7 to calculate the Vehicle Speed, Vehicle Speed given Overtaking Space formula is defined as a measure of the speed of a vehicle required to overtake another vehicle safely, considering the sight distance available, which is the distance a driver can see ahead, and the space needed to complete the overtaking maneuver. Vehicle Speed is denoted by V_speed symbol.
