How to calculate the time of movement

To always manage to all meetings, it is best to think through the route in advance and try to predict how much time you have to spend to get to the destination. Let's talk about how to calculate the time of movement.

With the help of the card, pave a possible way of following. Be sure to pride the bypass paths in case of repair work, accidents or traffic jams on the track.

Another way to calculate the accurate kilometer and route is to use the Internet card like GoogleMaps, Yahoo Maps or Yandex.Maps. By the way, such a resource will prompt and the availability of possible traffic jams or other barriers on the way. The distance, as a rule, is denoted by the letter "S".

Set the average speed with which your transport will move. In the city, on average, it turns out to go no more than 60-70 km / h, on the highway - 100-120 km / h. If you follow public transport, keep in mind that the bus or train will do regular stops for 1-2 minutes, which will significantly reduce the average speed. Pedestrian speed is usually no more than 5 km / h. Traditionally, the speed is denoted by the letter "V".

Now, determined by speed and distance, you can count on the time (t) of movement with such an equation: T \u003d S / V. An important nuance when counting the time of movement - units of measurement. Distance in kilometers? So, the speed should be in kilometers per hour. You know the route in meters - the speed of movement is set in meters per second.

True, the counting time of movement in this case is rather inaccurate, because the speed we take a very averaged, and the exact merar on the map does not determine. It is possible to significantly increase the accuracy of calculations using electronic navigators. There are pedestrian navigators, automotive, wrist, built into mobile phone and even sea.

There is also a notion of calculating the distance and time of the tables. This is relevant for those who are planning movement between cities or countries. The tables indicate the distance between the various cities of the world. Typically, the distance from the main mail and to the main mail, therefore, it is impossible to name this way. You will have to use the card anyway and make the exact route, which will affect the speed of movement and, accordingly, for travel time.

The navigator needs to specify the goal "from point to item". It will calculate the optimal route, and when you start moving, it will calculate your speed and give the average time staying on the way. Depending on the change in the speed or change of the route, the navigator will immediately change and calculate time on the way, informing you about it.
