Overtaking Sight Distance given Distance Traveled Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Overtaking Sight Distance = Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle+Distance of Actual Overtaking+Distance Traveled by On-Coming Vehicle
OSD = d₁+d₂+d₃
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Overtaking Sight Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Overtaking Sight Distance is the distance of road that a driver needs to see ahead to safely and legally overtake another vehicle on a roadway without causing a collision.
Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle - (Measured in Meter) - Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle is the total distance it covers while passing another vehicle on the road.
Distance of Actual Overtaking - (Measured in Meter) - Distance of Actual Overtaking refers to the exact distance traveled by the vehicle while overtaking.
Distance Traveled by On-Coming Vehicle - (Measured in Meter) - Distance Traveled by On-Coming Vehicle refers to the physical distance that a vehicle traveling in the opposite direction covers or moves while it is in motion.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle: 25 Meter --> 25 Meter No Conversion Required
Distance of Actual Overtaking: 21 Meter --> 21 Meter No Conversion Required
Distance Traveled by On-Coming Vehicle: 16 Meter --> 16 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

OSD = d₁+d₂+d₃ --> 25+21+16

Evaluating ... ...

OSD = 62

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

62 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

62 Meter <-- Overtaking Sight Distance

Actual Overtaking Distance

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

Overtaking Sight Distance given Distance Traveled

Go Overtaking Sight Distance = Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle+Distance of Actual Overtaking+Distance Traveled by On-Coming Vehicle

Actual Overtaking Time given Overtaking Space and Acceleration

Go Actual Overtaking Time = sqrt((4*Overtaking Space)/Overtaking Acceleration)

Actual Overtaking Time given Distance Traveled by On-Coming Vehicle

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

Vehicle Speed given Distance Traveled by On-Coming Vehicle

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

Distance Traveled by On-Coming Vehicle

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

Acceleration given Actual Overtaking Time and Overtaking Space

Go Overtaking Acceleration = (4*Overtaking Space)/(Actual Overtaking Time^2)

Overtaking Space given Actual Overtaking Time and Acceleration

Go Overtaking Space = (Actual Overtaking Time^2*Overtaking Acceleration)/4

Reaction Time Given Overtaking Distance and Vehicle Speed

Go Reaction Time = Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle/Vehicle Speed

Vehicle Speed Given Overtaking Distance and Reaction Time

Go Vehicle Speed = Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle/Reaction Time

Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle

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

Vehicle Speed given Overtaking Space

Go Vehicle Speed = (Overtaking Space-6)/0.7

Overtaking Space

Go Overtaking Space = 0.7*Vehicle Speed+6

Overtaking Sight Distance given Distance Traveled Formula

Overtaking Sight Distance = Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle+Distance of Actual Overtaking+Distance Traveled by On-Coming Vehicle
OSD = d₁+d₂+d₃

Overtaking sight distance
