Breaking Distance
BrakePoint
Braking Sync
Kinetic Dissipation. Measuring the displacement required to convert velocity into thermal energy. New Horizons monitors the "Friction Constant" to predict mechanical stopping limits.
- 📏 Metric: Stopping Length (m/ft).
- 🛞 Variable: Road Friction ($\mu$).
- ⚠️ Scaling: Inverse Square of Velocity.
Latency Sync
Neural Displacement. Measuring the distance traveled during the 1.5s human reaction window. New Horizons monitors the "Latency Constant" to bridge the gap between perception and mechanical action.
- ⏱️ Latency: 1.5s Reaction Time.
- 📏 Metric: Linear Thinking Distance.
- 🚀 Factor: Velocity Magnitude.
Grip Sync
Mechanical Dissipation. Measuring the displacement required for a full kinetic-to-thermal transition. New Horizons monitors the "Dry Constant" (0.7μ) to establish the baseline safety threshold.
- 🏁 Surface: Dry Asphalt Baseline.
- 📐 Factor: 0.7 Friction Coefficient.
- ⚠️ Scaling: Quadratic Velocity Delta.
Stop Sync
Total Kinetic Capture. The sum of neural latency and mechanical friction. New Horizons monitors the "Stopping Constant" to define the absolute perimeter of vehicle safety.
- 🧠 Phase 1: Thinking Displacement (Linear).
- 🛞 Phase 2: Braking Displacement (Quadratic).
- 🚧 Result: Absolute Stopping Limit.
