The equation that links stopping distance, thinking distance, and braking distance is given by:
Stopping Distance = Thinking Distance + Braking Distance.
Thinking distance is the distance a vehicle travels while the driver reacts to a hazard, while braking distance is the distance traveled while the vehicle comes to a complete stop after the brakes are applied. Together, they represent the total distance required to stop a vehicle safely.
