Abstract:

Vehicle speed is an important factor of roadway safety. Students will explore how speed is related to the design of a street and learn that travel speed is a decision made by drivers. Students will discover how a driver’s ability to stop is related to human biology and principles of physics and how this translates into the distance needed for a driver to see a pedestrian and stop. Students will learn about these concepts by measuring their own reaction time then calculating laying out stopping distances given different conditions.
