Minimum Overtaking Distance Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Minimum Length of OSD = 3*Overtaking Sight Distance on road
D = 3*OSD
This formula uses 2 Variables
Variables Used
Minimum Length of OSD - (Measured in Meter) - Minimum length of OSD is the minimum distance open to the vision of the driver of a vehicle intending to overtake the slow vehicle ahead safely against the traffic in the opposite direction.
Overtaking Sight Distance on road - (Measured in Meter) - Overtaking Sight Distance on road is minimum distance open to the vision of the driver of a vehicle intending to overtake slow moving vehicle with safety.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Overtaking Sight Distance on road: 278 Meter --> 278 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
D = 3*OSD --> 3*278
Evaluating ... ...
D = 834
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
834 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
834 Meter <-- Minimum Length of OSD
(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

Reaction Time of Driver using OSD
Go Reaction Time of Driver = (Overtaking Sight Distance on road-Speed of Slow moving vehicle*Time taken for Overtaking Operation-1.4*Speed of Slow moving vehicle-2*Length of Wheel Base as per IRC-Speed of Fast moving Vehicle*Time taken for Overtaking Operation)/Speed of Slow moving vehicle
Overtaking Sight Distance
Go Overtaking Sight Distance on road = Speed of Slow moving vehicle*Reaction Time of Driver+Speed of Slow moving vehicle*Time taken for Overtaking Operation+2*(0.7*Speed of Slow moving vehicle+Length of Wheel Base as per IRC)+Speed of Fast moving Vehicle*Time taken for Overtaking Operation
Speed of Slow Vehicle using OSD
Go Speed of Slow moving vehicle = (Overtaking Sight Distance on road-Speed of Fast moving Vehicle*Time taken for Overtaking Operation-2*Length of Wheel Base as per IRC)/(Reaction Time of Driver+Time taken for Overtaking Operation+1.4)
Total Time of Travel in Overtaking Sight distance
Go Time taken for Overtaking Operation = sqrt(4*Minimum Spacing between Vehicles during Overtaking/Acceleration)
Spacing between Vehicles given Total Time of Travel in Overtaking Sight distance
Go Minimum Spacing between Vehicles during Overtaking = ((Time taken for Overtaking Operation^2)*Acceleration)/4
Acceleration of Vehicle given Total Time of Travel in Overtaking Sight distance
Go Acceleration = (4*Minimum Spacing between Vehicles during Overtaking)/(Time taken for Overtaking Operation^2)
Minimum Spacing between Vehicles during Overtaking
Go Minimum Spacing between Vehicles during Overtaking = (0.7*Speed of Slow moving vehicle+6)
Velocity of Overtaking Vehicle for Forward Moving Vehicle Velocity in meter per second
Go Speed of Fast moving Vehicle = Speed of Slow moving vehicle+4.5
Overtaking Sight Distance given Minimum Overtaking Distance
Go Overtaking Sight Distance on road = Minimum Length of OSD/3
Minimum Overtaking Distance
Go Minimum Length of OSD = 3*Overtaking Sight Distance on road

Minimum Overtaking Distance Formula

Minimum Length of OSD = 3*Overtaking Sight Distance on road
D = 3*OSD
