•
S
A
= stopping distance in millimeters (mm)
•

= distance covered during the vehicle control’s response time (including
signal propagation time), from the vehicle documentation, in millimeters (mm)
•
S
AnS
= distance covered during the response time of the safe multibeam scanner
in millimeters (mm)
The distance S
AnS
depends on t
he response time of the safe multibeam scanner
and the vehicle’s speed. The distance S
AnS
is calculated using the following for‐

S
AnS
= t

R
= r
esponse time of the safe multibeam scanner in seconds (s)
°
V
max
= maximum speed of the vehicle, from the vehicle documentation, in
millimeters per second (mm/s) (If you define a number of monitoring cases
with different protective fields: V
max
= maximum speed of the vehicle in the
current monitoring case)
