Speed graph
The Speed graph provides you with a graph of speed throughout the run.
You can use this graph to measure:
•
time from one speed to another speed (e.g., 0-50 MPH, 40-60 MPH, etc.)
•
time to accelerate from 0 to a certain speed, and brake to 0 again (e.g., 0-100-0 test)
•
time to brake to halt from a particular speed (e.g., 60-0 braking time)
You will see a graph such as the one shown in Figure 21. Of course the shape of the curve, as well as the numbers and
milestones, will be different for your vehicle.
