Calculate the Protective Field Length S
See EN ISO 13855. Calculate the necessary protective field length SL with the
formula:
S = S + Z + Z + Z

Calculate the Stopping Distance S
The stopping distance comprises the braking distance for the vehicle, the
distance covered during the response time of the safety laser scanner, and the
response time of the vehicle controller.
Figure 20 - Stopping Distance
IMPORTANT Consider that the braking distance for a vehicle is not linear with increasing
velocity, but increases in a square function.
