The Car Stopping Distance Logarithmicallyfinnish_translation.jpg

Auton pysähtymismatka logaritmisesti

I dare say this approach is not presented elsewhere. The stopping distance is formed on reaction time and braking distance. A suitable reaction time is considered to be 1 second. This information is calculated in the table below. Values in the table are the average of the braking actions, so in traffic be prepared to the worst result.

S = Braking distance      v = initial speed m/s        μ = friction factor 0.8     g = 9.81 m/s2

S = v2 / (2 x μ x g)

An Example

As is known, the braking distance at 30 km/h is about 13 m. What has been roughly the speed of the car with a 71 m long braking mark?

 30 / x = (13/71)2

 (132) x = (712) * 30

 169 x = 330750

  x=330750/169

  x= 130 km/h

Tarkistus - Check

  S = 36.112 /(2 x 0.8 x 9.81) m                              (130 km/h = 36.11 m/s)

  S = 83 m

Based on the table, the vehicle speed has been 120 to 130 km/h. On the motorway the vehicle has beeen within the limits. The more detailed information cannot determine of the braking marks.
