During corner entry the front tires, in addition to generating part of the lateral force required to accelerate the car's centre of mass into the turn, also generate a torque about the car's vertical axis that starts the car rotating into the turn. However, the lateral force being generated by the rear tires is acting in the opposite torsional ...
It is the maximum speed at which a vehicle can come to a full stop before an object, with speed V i, can intercept after having emerged and traveled across the horizontal sight distance "d hsd". Urban and residential areas have horizontal sight distances that tend to be closely obstructed by parked cars, utility poles, street furnishing ...
