= stopping distance in millimeters (mm)
•

= supplement for the decreasing braking force of the vehicle, from the vehicle
documentation, in millimeters (mm)
Stopping distance S
A
T
he stopping distance comprises the vehicle’s braking distance and the distance cov‐
ered during the safety laser scanner’s response time and the vehicle control’s response
time (including signal propagation time).
NOTE
A v
ehicle’s braking distance does not increase linearly with increasing speed, but rather
in a squared relationship.
