Reference Problem 1-7 in the 6 Minute Transportation Solutions.
Stopping distance for a car travelling 50mph = 461ft, uncluding distance traveled during the 2.5s perception reaction time.
Another car travelling at 60mph with same distance and same friction factor, what is the required perception reaction time of this car?
Why does the solution use the equation for total stopping distance S_b = s_s + s_r instead of the SSD equation with the 1.47 and 1.075 factors? Im a little confused.
Thank you for your assistance.
