Question 23

A delivery van is tested on a straight test track. In one run a test driver brakes when a warning light comes on; in a second run an automatic braking system responds to the same warning light. The van, its load and the track surface are the same for both runs. The measurements are recorded below.

QuantityMeasurement
Speed when the warning light comes on24 m/s
Distance travelled after the brakes engage45 m
Driver's reaction time0.75 s
Automatic system delay0.25 s
Position of marker P from the warning point55 m
Position of marker Q from the warning point65 m

Which statement is correct?

[1]
A

With the driver, the van stops beyond marker Q; with the automatic system, it stops before marker P.

B

With the driver, the van stops between markers P and Q; with the automatic system, it stops between markers P and Q.

C

With the driver, the van stops before marker P; with the automatic system, it stops before marker P.

D

With the driver, the van stops between markers P and Q; with the automatic system, it stops before marker P.
