Utilize our complimentary online tool to determine the stopping distance of a vehicle. Input the following parameters: Vehicle Speed, Coefficient of Friction, Road Grade, and Time.
Calculate a moving vehicle’s necessary stopping sight distance using our intuitive online braking distance calculator. You can precisely ascertain the required braking distance by inputting the vehicle speed, friction coefficient, road grade, and perception/reaction time. Enhance road safety and make well-informed decisions with the help of precise calculations.
Vehicle Stopping Distance formula
![\[Stopping\ Distance = (v \times t) + \frac{v^2}{2 \times g \times (f \pm G)}\]](https://x-calculator.com/wp-content/ql-cache/quicklatex.com-f5f86dfd37476b984ca8d342e38dc650_l3.png "Rendered by QuickLaTeX.com")
The variables used in the formula are:
- Stopping Distance: The total distance required to bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
- v: Vehicle speed.
- t: Perception/reaction time.
- g: Acceleration due to gravity.
- f: Friction coefficient.
- G: Grade of the road.
The calculator uses the formula for calculating the stopping distance based on the vehicle speed, perception/reaction time, friction coefficient, and road grade. The term f ± G indicates that you can choose either addition or subtraction based on the road grade.
