  2. Double-track railway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-track_railway

    In any given country, rail traffic generally runs to one side of a double-track line, not always the same side as road traffic. Thus in Belgium, China, France (apart from the classic lines of the former German Alsace and Lorraine), Sweden (apart from Malmö and further south), Switzerland, Italy and Portugal for example, the railways use left-hand running, while the roads use right-hand running.

  3. Length measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_measurement

    The distance between the left-hand corner cube and the beam splitter is compared to that separation on the fixed leg as the left-hand spacing is adjusted to compare the length of the object to be measured. In the top panel the path is such that the two beams reinforce each other after reassembly, leading to a strong light pattern (sun).

  4. Hausdorff distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hausdorff_distance

    The Hausdorff distance is the longest distance someone can be forced to travel by an adversary who chooses a point in one of the two sets, from where they then must travel to the other set. In other words, it is the greatest of all the distances from a point in one set to the closest point in the other set.

  5. Chebyshev distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev_distance

    The two dimensional Manhattan distance has "circles" i.e. level sets in the form of squares, with sides of length √ 2 r, oriented at an angle of π/4 (45°) to the coordinate axes, so the planar Chebyshev distance can be viewed as equivalent by rotation and scaling to (i.e. a linear transformation of) the planar Manhattan distance.

  6. Length contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_contraction

    After that, the observer only has to look at the position of a clock A that stored the time when the left end of the object was passing by, and a clock B at which the right end of the object was passing by at the same time. It's clear that distance AB is equal to length of the moving object. [13]
