Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A vehicle is traveling at 70 km/h on a highly frictional road (f=0.4). Calculate the SSD considering a reaction time of 2 seconds.
💡 Hint: Make sure all units are consistent before solving.
Consider a situation where a car is going downhill with a 3% gradient at a speed of 60 km/h. Calculate the adjusted stopping sight distance.
💡 Hint: Remember how gravity operates on the inclination.
