Which distance is not included in the stopping sight distance?
1 Answers
Stopping distance does not include the starting distance. The following is an extended introduction: 1. Introduction to stopping sight distance: Stopping sight distance refers to the shortest driving distance required for a vehicle to stop when encountering an obstacle ahead while driving on the same lane. Stopping sight distance can be broken down into three parts for study: reaction distance, braking distance, and safety distance. Simply put, stopping sight distance is the shortest distance required for the driver to stop before discovering an obstacle. 2. Composition of stopping sight distance: Stopping sight distance consists of three parts: the distance S₁ traveled during the driver's reaction time, the distance S₂ traveled from the start of braking to the complete stop of the vehicle (braking distance), plus a safety distance S₀ (5~10m).
