Perception Distance + Reaction Distance+ Braking Distance.
Total stopping distance is the thinking distance (The distance it takes for your brain to process the event and decide to stop the car) and the stopping distance (The distance it takes to stop the car once deceleration has begun) added together.
Reaction time AND breaking distance
The total stopping distance includes the perception distance, reaction time and braking distance. The distance that your vehicle is traveling and then pressing on the brake after seeing a hazard, is the total stopping distance.
Total stopping distance is the thinking distance (The distance it takes for your brain to process the event and decide to stop the car) and the stopping distance (The distance it takes to stop the car once deceleration has begun) added together.
That distance is known as the total stopping distance, which consists of both the thinking distance (distance traveled while recognizing a hazard and reacting) and the braking distance (distance traveled from applying the brakes to coming to a complete stop). The total stopping distance can vary depending on factors such as speed, road conditions, and vehicle condition.
If your speed triples, the distance required to stop increases by a factor of nine. This is because stopping distance is proportional to the square of the speed. Therefore, if you increase your speed by three times, the stopping distance becomes three squared, which equals nine times the original distance.
Feet is the standard measurement of altitude, or vertical distance. Metres, kilometres are used as a standard of horizontal distance. The nautical mile is used for navigational distance. The three seemingly different units of measurement, measure three different things. If a pilot hears a distance in feet, he or she immediately thinks of vertical distance. Metres is immediately related to horizontal distance, and nautical miles to navigational distance. The reason is to stop confusion.
An element of total stopping distance is the reaction distance, which is the distance your vehicle travels from the moment you see a hazard until you physically apply the brakes. This, combined with the braking distance (the distance your vehicle travels once the brakes are applied until it comes to a complete stop), makes up the total stopping distance.
Perception distance plus reaction distance plus braking distance is called total stopping distance. It represents the total distance a vehicle will travel from the moment a driver recognizes a hazard until the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
The total distance from Port Macquarie to Melbourne is 1,016 kilometers as the crow flies or 548 nautical miles. The driving distance is 1,257 km, and would take about 14 and three-quarters hours to travel, driving non-stop.
ave speed does not care if you have stopovers or not. ave speed = total distance / total time
depends how fast you are travelling
