  2. Braking distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braking_distance

    Braking distance. Braking distance refers to the distance a vehicle will travel from the point when its brakes are fully applied to when it comes to a complete stop. It is primarily affected by the original speed of the vehicle and the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road surface, [Note 1] and negligibly by the tires' rolling ...

  3. Two-second rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-second_rule

    The two-second rule provides a simpler way of perceiving the distance. To estimate the time, a driver can wait until the rear end of the vehicle in front passes any distinct and fixed point on the roadway—e.g. a road sign, mailbox, line/crack/patch in the road. After the car ahead passes a given fixed point, the front of one's car should pass ...

  4. Headway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headway

    Headway. Headway is the distance or duration between vehicles in a transit system measured in space or time. The minimum headway is the shortest such distance or time achievable by a system without a reduction in the speed of vehicles. The precise definition varies depending on the application, but it is most commonly measured as the distance ...

  5. Stopping sight distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stopping_sight_distance

    Stopping Sight Distance [:]...the distance required by the user, traveling at a given speed, to bring the vehicle or bicycle to a stop after an object ½-foot high on the road becomes visible. Stopping sight distance for motorists is measured from the driver's eyes, which are assumed to be 3½ feet above the pavement surface, to an object ½ ...

  6. Traffic flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_flow

    In transportation engineering, traffic flow is the study of interactions between travellers (including pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and their vehicles) and infrastructure (including highways, signage, and traffic control devices), with the aim of understanding and developing an optimal transport network with efficient movement of traffic and minimal traffic congestion problems.

  7. Great-circle navigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great-circle_navigation

    The distance along the great circle will then be s 12 = Rσ 12, where R is the assumed radius of the Earth and σ 12 is expressed in radians. Using the mean Earth radius, R = R 1 ≈ 6,371 km (3,959 mi) yields results for the distance s 12 which are within 1% of the geodesic length for the WGS84 ellipsoid; see Geodesics on an ellipsoid for details.

  8. Wheelbase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheelbase

    In both road and rail vehicles, the wheelbase is the horizontal distance between the centers of the front and rear wheels. For road vehicles with more than two axles (e.g. some trucks), the wheelbase is the distance between the steering (front) axle and the centerpoint of the driving axle group. In the case of a tri-axle truck, the wheelbase ...

  9. Weight transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight_transfer

    Weight transfer occurs as the vehicle's CoM shifts during automotive maneuvers. Acceleration causes the sprung mass to rotate about a geometric axis resulting in relocation of the CoM. Front-back weight transfer is proportional to the change in the longitudinal location of the CoM to the vehicle's wheelbase, and side-to-side weight transfer ...
