The MotoGP race itself was a portrait of disorder at the start. The clouds and humidity which featured all weekend finally gave way to rain five minutes before the start, with all riders on slicks. Well, not ALL riders, as Luca Marini and Alex Marquez were absent, nursing injuries received...
achieves a consistent braking system meeting Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS), and meets specific performance objectives (e.g., stopping distance, pedal force application, relationships between brake pedal force, displacement, and vehicle deceleration, etc.), while smoothly blending the tra...
My biggest fear is getting rear ended in LA traffic. When you're cruising at 70 mph and suddenly the brakes come on to slow you down to 50 in less than 2...
Only Dopes Smoke and Drive; Tests Show That at 60mph the Braking Distance after One Joint Is 40ft LongerByline: ANDREW CHAPMANChapman, Andrew
25 mph on dry asphalt is about 30 feet. That’s under perfect conditions with good tires. For most vehicles and most road surfaces, things are somewhat less than perfect. Here’s the thing – if you bump the speed up to 35 mph, perfect stopping distance is at least 58 feet. Got ...
The most demanding hard braking for the MotoGP bikes is on the first corner after the starting line: the bikes go from over 325 km/h (202 mph) to 134 km/h (53.2 mph) in just 4.3 seconds and cover a distance of 238 meters (260.2 yards). To do this, the riders apply a load of...
could take upwards of 90 metres to stop, meaning your total stopping distance will be around 150m. If AEB can shave a second off your reaction time, you’ll have 31.3m extra to play with and that could mean the difference between hitting the obstacle at around 35mph, or stopping ...
