A budget is a formal written statement of a hospital's. plan for the future. The financial budget is a management. control tool normally covering a one year period. The. essentials of budgeting are to set specific goals for. future operations and to have a periodic comparison of.
The braking distance is one of two principal components of the total stopping distance. The other component is the reaction distance, which is the product of the speed and the perception-reaction time of the driver/rider.
(The discussion continues about various studies that have been conducted to determine a reasonable brake reaction time for a below average driver.) . . . In the determination of sight distance for design, the reaction time should be larger than the average for all drivers under normal conditions. It should be large enough to include the reaction time required for nearly all drivers under most highway conditions. For approximately 90 percent of the drivers in the first study mentioned, a reaction time of 2.5 s was found to be adequate. A reaction time of 2.5 s has thus been assumed. . . A reaction time of 2.5 s is considered adequate for more complex conditions than those of the various studies, but it is not adequate for the most complex conditions encountered by the driver.
