    This is an accepted version of this page This is the latest accepted revision, reviewed on 7 March 2025. Directionality of traffic flow by jurisdiction Countries by direction of road traffic, c. 2020 Left-hand traffic Right-hand traffic No data Left-hand traffic (LHT) and right-hand traffic (RHT) are the practices, in bidirectional traffic, of keeping to the left side or to the right side of ...

  3. VSOP model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VSOP_model

    It is customary to develop them into periodic series which are a function of time, e.g. (a+bt+ct 2 +...)×cos(p+qt+rt 2 +...) and so forth, one for each planetary interaction. The factor a in the preceding formula is the main amplitude, the factor q the main angular velocity, which is directly related to a harmonic of the driving force, that is ...

  4. Space travel under constant acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_travel_under...

    From the planetary frame of reference, the ship's speed will appear to be limited by the speed of light — it can approach the speed of light, but never reach it. If a ship is using 1 g constant acceleration, it will appear to get near the speed of light in about a year, and have traveled about half a light year in distance. For the middle of ...

  5. Simpson planetary gearset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson_planetary_gearset

    A Ravigneaux planetary gearset was combined with a simple planetary gearset to form a Lepelletier gearset, that offers six useful forward gears. Even the latest 4-speed transmissions are not Simpson; they have only two planetary sets, while a Simpson transmission needs three planetary sets to get four speeds, the third planetary being an ...

  6. Sun and planet gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_and_planet_gear

    With the motion of the beam, this revolved around, and turned, the 'sun', a second rotating cog fixed to the drive shaft, thus generating rotary motion. An interesting feature of this arrangement, when compared to that of a simple crank, is that when both sun and planet have the same number of teeth, the drive shaft completes two revolutions ...

  7. Epicyclic gearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epicyclic_gearing

    This planetary gear train consists of a sun gear (yellow), planet gears (blue) and carrier (green) inside a ring gear (red) An epicyclic gear train (also known as a planetary gearset) is a gear reduction assembly consisting of two gears mounted so that the center of one gear (the "planet") revolves around the center of the other (the "sun"). A ...

  8. Ravigneaux planetary gearset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravigneaux_planetary_gearset

    The Ravigneaux gearset is a double planetary gear set, invented by Pol Ravigneaux, who filed a patent application on July 28, 1949, in Neuilly-sur-Seine France. [1] This planetary gear set, commonly used in automatic transmissions, is constructed from two gear pairs, ring–planet and planet–planet. The gearset provides four forward gear ...

  9. Delta-v budget - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta-v_budget

    The velocity of the vehicle needs substantial burns at the intersection of the two orbital planes and the delta-v is usually extremely high. However, these plane changes can be almost free in some cases if the gravity and mass of a planetary body are used to perform the deflection [citation needed].
