Intermediate Sight Distance Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Intermediate Sight Distance = 2*Stopping Sight Distance
ISD = 2*SSD
This formula uses 2 Variables
Variables Used
Intermediate Sight Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Intermediate sight distance is defined as the distance required by the vehicle to stop the vehicle before accident.
Stopping Sight Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Stopping Sight Distance is defined as distance provided on the road before a sharp turn.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Stopping Sight Distance: 160 Meter --> 160 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
ISD = 2*SSD --> 2*160
Evaluating ... ...
ISD = 320
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
320 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
320 Meter <-- Intermediate Sight Distance
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Stopping Sight Distance on Level Ground with Breaking Efficiency
Go Stopping Sight Distance = Speed of Slow moving vehicle*Break Reaction Time+(Speed of Slow moving vehicle^2)/(2*[g]*Design Coefficient of Friction*Overall Efficiency from Shaft A to X)
Stopping Sight Distance on Upward Inclined Surface
Go Stopping Sight Distance = Speed of Slow moving vehicle*Break Reaction Time+(Speed of Slow moving vehicle^2)/(2*[g]*Design Coefficient of Friction+Difference in Elevation)
Total Reaction Time given Stopping Sight Distance
Go Break Reaction Time = (Stopping Sight Distance-(Speed of Slow moving vehicle^2)/(2*[g]*Design Coefficient of Friction))/Speed of Slow moving vehicle
Stopping Sight Distance for Velocity in meter per second
Go Stopping Sight Distance = Speed of Slow moving vehicle*Break Reaction Time+(Speed of Slow moving vehicle^2)/(2*[g]*Design Coefficient of Friction)
Stopping Sight Distance
Go Stopping Sight Distance = Breaking Distance+Lag Distance
Stopping Sight Distance given Intermediate Sight Distance
Go Stopping Sight Distance = Intermediate Sight Distance/2
Intermediate Sight Distance
Go Intermediate Sight Distance = 2*Stopping Sight Distance

Intermediate Sight Distance Formula

Intermediate Sight Distance = 2*Stopping Sight Distance
ISD = 2*SSD

What is stopping sight distance?

Stopping sight distance (SSD) is the minimum sight distance available on a highway at any spot having sufficient length to enable the driver to stop a vehicle traveling at design speed, safely without collision with any other obstruction.

How to Calculate Intermediate Sight Distance?
