Overtaking Space Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Overtaking Space = 0.7*Vehicle Speed+6
s = 0.7*V_speed+6
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Overtaking Space - (Measured in Meter) - 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.
Vehicle Speed - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Vehicle Speed refers to the rate at which a vehicle is traveling.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Vehicle Speed: 6.88 Meter per Second --> 6.88 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

s = 0.7*V_speed+6 --> 0.7*6.88+6

Evaluating ... ...

s = 10.816

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 Space Formula

Overtaking Space = 0.7*Vehicle Speed+6
s = 0.7*V_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 Overtaking Space?
