Total Time of Travel in Overtaking Sight distance Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Time taken for Overtaking Operation = sqrt(4*Minimum Spacing between Vehicles during Overtaking/Acceleration)
T = sqrt(4*s/a)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables
Functions Used
sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)
Variables Used
Time taken for Overtaking Operation - (Measured in Second) - Time taken for Overtaking Operation is the time taken by fast moving vehicle to overtake the slow moving vehicle.
Minimum Spacing between Vehicles during Overtaking - (Measured in Meter) - Minimum Spacing between Vehicles during Overtaking is the minimum distance between the two vehicles required at the time of overtaking.
Acceleration - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity to the change in time.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Minimum Spacing between Vehicles during Overtaking: 13.7 Meter --> 13.7 Meter No Conversion Required
Acceleration: 0.9 Meter per Square Second --> 0.9 Meter per Square Second No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
T = sqrt(4*s/a) --> sqrt(4*13.7/0.9)
Evaluating ... ...
T = 7.80313327381308
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
7.80313327381308 Second --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
7.80313327381308 7.803133 Second <-- Time taken for Overtaking Operation
(Calculation completed in 00.004 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

Total Time of Travel in Overtaking Sight distance Formula

Time taken for Overtaking Operation = sqrt(4*Minimum Spacing between Vehicles during Overtaking/Acceleration)
