Abstract

It is common knowledge that the faster a vehicle is going, the greater the distance required to stop after the brakes are applied. Conversely, the greater the braking distance, the faster the car must have been going when the brakes were applied. In the case of accidents, it is often important to estimate the speed from the braking distance.
