braking distance

Yet at only 30 miles an hour, the braking distance is 45 feet.

Do you know what how much braking distance you need?

Let's start by looking at the factors that contribute to braking distance in the next section.

Between each class, there are 3-6 metres difference in braking distance.

Placed in the braking distance to allow the driver to stop before the signal ahead.

"Maybe these programs should require testing of certain essential devices, such as a braking distance test," he said.

This article gives you the data you need to test your vehicle's braking distance.

On a train with strong brakes, this is the braking distance from 160 km/h.

Tests showed the average braking distance was 20-35 metres (65-115 feet).

Officials said general wear-and-tear on the trains explained the longer braking distances.

Increased mass can also increase braking distances and pitching.

In wet, hard surfaces, this is useful to reduce somewhat total braking distance.

Due to the braking distances in the heavy rain the aircraft could not stop before the end of the runway.

These combinations are used, if the signals are mounted at the half braking distance.

This status includes, among others parameters, the exact position, speed, travel direction and braking distance.

The resultant reduction in braking distances made a significant contribution to improving road safety.

Like all railroads in America, the subways added a safety buffer onto the braking distance.

Testing your vehicle's braking distance can be the difference between a near-miss and a serious accident on the road.

And the forty five feet is needed for his braking distance giving the overall of seventy five.

Braking distances are reduced by up to 25 percent, and you don't skid or slide in the process.

"The braking distances, the G-forces, the acceleration, those will come back very quickly," he said.

As a result, braking distances even in perfect conditions were greatly improved, on the order of 30%.

Acceleration slows down, braking distances stretch out, and even the vehicle's steering feels a little different.

At 30 km/h the braking distance is reduced to 16 metres (Figure 2.6).
