Unlock the reasoning, formula path and code-linked notes inside your student dashboard.
Three sight distances: SSD (Stopping Sight Distance) — minimum, needed to stop safely; OSD (Overtaking/Passing Sight Distance) — for safe overtaking; ISD (Intermediate Sight Distance) = 2× SSD — when OSD is not feasible; SSD governs crest vertical curves, OSD governs upgrades. All computed for eye height 1.2 m, object 0.15–0.60 m.
