  2. Naismith's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naismith's_rule

    Pace [6] in minutes per kilometre or mile vs. slope angle resulting from Naismith's rule [7] for basal speeds of 5 and 4 km / h. [n 1]The original Naismith's rule from 1892 says that one should allow one hour per three miles on the map and an additional hour per 2000 feet of ascent.

  3. Time–distance diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timedistance_diagram

    A timedistance diagram is a chart with two axes: one for time, the other for location. The units on either axis depend on the type of project: time can be expressed in minutes (for overnight construction of railroad modification projects such as the installation of switches) or years (for large construction projects); the location can be (kilo)meters, or other distinct units (such as ...

  4. Tobler's hiking function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobler's_hiking_function

    W = walking velocity [km/h] [2] dh = elevation difference, dx = distance, S = slope, θ = angle of slope (inclination). The velocity on the flat terrain is 5 km / h, the maximum speed of 6 km / h is achieved roughly at -2.86°. [5] On flat terrain this formula works out to 5 km/h.

  5. Pace (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pace_(unit)

    A pace is a unit of length consisting either of one normal walking step (approximately 0.75 metres or 30 inches), or of a double step, returning to the same foot (approximately 1.5 metres or 60 inches). The normal pace length decreases with age and some health conditions. [1]

  6. Pace count beads - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pace_count_beads

    Both methods require the user to know the relationship between the paces walked, and the distance traveled. [3] There are two main ways to use the beads. One is to represent the distance a person has walked, and the other is to represent the distance they need to walk. In the latter, beads may be used to count down the distance to a destination.

  7. Traffic flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_flow

    Speed is the distance covered per unit of time. One cannot track the speed of every vehicle; so, in practice, average speed is measured by sampling vehicles in a given area over a period of time. Two definitions of average speed are identified: "time mean speed" and "space mean speed".

  8. Military step - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_step

    The standard pace is 60 paces per minute (88 for the FFL). Australian Army Slow Time is 70 paces per minute with a 75cm pace. British armed services Slow March is 65 paces per minute. Half Step March or Cut the pace: This is a US march pace. It is at the same tempo as Quick Time, but instead of 30 inches, the step is 15 inches.

  9. Distance from a point to a line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_from_a_point_to_a...

    The distance (or perpendicular distance) from a point to a line is the shortest distance from a fixed point to any point on a fixed infinite line in Euclidean geometry. It is the length of the line segment which joins the point to the line and is perpendicular to the line. The formula for calculating it can be derived and expressed in several ways.
