Nov 28, 2019 at 1:33 comment added WDUK I see, then i am confused because the first comment from the user on this answer says its not constant. Maybe the user is confused, though it was asked long time ago and i have my own steering issues at the moment so was just passing through looking for answers. If acceleration is constant then equation 3 would get him the stop distance for sure.
Nov 27, 2019 at 22:49 comment added Pieter Geerkens @WDUK: On the contrary: the original posts states clearly, in two separate locations, that acceleration is constant. (1) "... with 2 constants: maxspeed and acceleration." (2) "The maxspeed and acceleration is constant and ..."
Nov 27, 2019 at 21:29 comment added WDUK @PieterGeerkens the user has clearly stated acceleration is not constant. The equations you provided are not helpful for non constant acceleration situations.
Mar 6, 2015 at 6:42 comment added user62462 I am well aware of the processes involved in those equations. However, they only work when acceleration across the entire path is constant, which I dont think is the case here.
Mar 6, 2015 at 6:37 comment added user62462 I have googled those formulas as well but I do not know how to utilize them. If I did, then I dont need to ask this question. They do say the devil is in the implementation details.
Mar 6, 2015 at 6:35 comment added Pieter Geerkens @user62462: I have directed you to the necessary mathematical tools - now it is up to you to actually write the program.
Mar 6, 2015 at 6:32 comment added user62462 They are constants in the sense the variable itself is constant. I believe however, the values used in calculation is not uniform across the path.
Mar 6, 2015 at 6:30 comment added Pieter Geerkens @user62462: Then please correct with 2 constants: maxspeed and acceleration in your question.
Mar 6, 2015 at 6:29 comment added user62462 Acceleration is not constant. + acceleration at start, 0 at middle and - acceleration at end. I am not very smart so can you show an sample implementation?
