Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the Stopping Sight Distance (SSD) for a vehicle traveling at 100 km/h with a reaction time of 2.0 seconds and a coefficient of friction of 0.4.

💡 Hint: Remember to convert the speed into meters per second.

Question 2

Design an overtaking scenario where SSD is essential when two cars are traveling towards each other at 60 and 80 km/h. Determine the minimum sight distance required for a safe passing maneuver.

💡 Hint: Use the equation incorporating speeds and spacings between vehicles.
