Stopping Sight Distance (SSD):

(Analysis and Numerical of SSD)


Stopping Sight Distance (SSD): (Analysis of Stopping Sight Distance)
Stopping distance is the sum of lag distance & braking distance.
Lag Distance:
Distance travelled by the vehicle at uniform speed during the total reaction time, t
Lag distance = 0.278 * V * t
v is the design speed, kmph
t is the total reaction time in seconds = 2.5 seconds
Lag distance = 0.7 * V

Braking Distance:
Distance travelled after the brakes till the vehicle comes to a halt.
Braking distance = ( V2 / ( 254 * f) )
f is design coefficient of friction = 0.4 to 0.35 (as per speed)

Braking distance = ( V2 / ( 254 * (f + 0.01 * G)) )


G is gradient. + ve sign for upgrades & -ve signs for downgrades
