How is braking distance calculated in relation to vehicle speed?

[MacRyder]

Braking distance is directly proportional to the square of the vehicle's speed. Below is relevant information about braking distance: 1. Introduction to braking distance: Braking distance is one of the most important indicators used by traffic management departments during vehicle inspections. The 100km/h braking distance refers to the distance a vehicle travels from the moment the brakes are fully applied at 100 km/h until it comes to a complete stop with maximum braking force. Currently, there is no specific optimal braking distance defined, but generally a distance within 42 meters is considered excellent, 42-45 meters is acceptable, and anything above 45 meters is considered failing. 2. Factors affecting braking distance: Generally, the more pistons a brake caliper has, the better its braking performance. At the same time, wear on brake pads and discs can significantly impact braking efficiency. Vehicle load also affects braking distance - in real-world situations, the more cargo a vehicle carries, the longer its braking distance will be.
