Velocidad mínima Español

Spanish Language version of the Minimum Speed Application.

Calculates the Minimum Speed/Velocity of a vehicle that is skidding/decelerating based on its skid distance, braking efficiency, roadway grade and the vehicle’s final/impact velocity.

Calculations are completed in m/s and km/h.
In addition to the speed calculations, the time elapsed in the skid is determined as well as the adjusted drag factor.

The coefficient of friction, vehicle braking efficiency and roadway grade, are all entered via sliders or text fields. When the slider for any of the related values is moved, both the value of the related item and all of the related calculations are instantly changed. This allows the investigator toinstantly determine how sensitive the values are to the speed calculations.

The results of the calculations may be emailed. Once emailed, the contents of the email (including the step-by-step calculations) may be copied from the email and pasted into any word processing program.

The calculation page displays all of the calculations in a line-by-line or step by step-by-step fashion in the same manner as the email results. The calculations are scrollable and viewable in both Landscape and Portrait modes. The calculation also includes the minimum/slide to stop/basic speed equation derivation.
