using the formula:
S
A
= S
Br
+ S
AnF
+ S
AnS
Where …
S
Br
= Braking distance, to be found in the vehicle documentation
S
AnF
= Distance covered during the response time of the vehicle controller, to be found
in the vehicle documentation
S
AnS
= Distance covered during the response time of the safety laser scanner
Distance covered during the response time of the safety laser scanner
The distance covered during the response time of the safety laser scanner depends on …
the response time of the safety laser scanner.
the maximum velocity of the vehicle in your mobile application.
The response time T
S
of the S300 depends on …
the basic response time of the S300,
the multiple sampling set,
the transmission speed to external OSSDs via EFI.
See section 12.2 “OSSD response times” on page 117.
