SD= vt+(v^2÷2gf).
V=80, v=80÷3.6=22.22{assume 3.6 by IRC),
SD=22.22+{(22.22)*(22.22)}÷2*9.8*0.35,
SD=127.52.

Formula : v*t+ v*v/2gf.
Convert all in m & s as per value.

The formula is e * f +v^2/2gf.

Here, Stopping distance =d1+d2.
d1=0.7*v ,d2=v^2/(254f),
v=80 f=0.35.
d1=0.7*v ,d2=v^2/(254f),
v=80 f=0.35.

If speed is in Kmph then formula for SSD is;
SSD = (0.278 * v * t ) + (v^2/254f).
SSD = (0.278 * 80 * 205) + ((80^2) / (254 * 0.35)) = 127.59.
SSD = (0.278 * v * t ) + (v^2/254f).
SSD = (0.278 * 80 * 205) + ((80^2) / (254 * 0.35)) = 127.59.

V * t + v^2/(2gf).
V = 80/3.6 = 22.2.
T = 2.5 sec.
G = 9.8.
F = 3.5.
SSD = 127m.
V = 80/3.6 = 22.2.
T = 2.5 sec.
G = 9.8.
F = 3.5.
SSD = 127m.

SSD = LAG DISTANCE + BRAKING DISTANCE.
Design speed = 80 Km/hr => v = 80x1000/(60x60) m/sec = 22.22 m/sec.
Reaction time = 2.5 sec.
Coefficient of friction f = 0.35.
= vt + v^2/(2gf).
= 22.22*2.5 + 22.22^2/(2*9.81*0.35).
SSD = 127.45 m.

Without calculator can't be calculated.

SSD = Recognizing distance + Breaking distance.
= V(in m/s)*t(in sec)+V^2(in m/s)/(2g (f-G)).
Where G is the difference in slope.
= 80*1000/3600*2.5+(80*1000/3600)^2/(2*9.81*0.35).
= 127.468 roughly 127.

SSD = Lag Distance+Braking Distance.
= V*t+V^2/2gf.
= 22.22*2.5+{22.22/2*9.81*0.35}.
= 127.
= V*t+V^2/2gf.
= 22.22*2.5+{22.22/2*9.81*0.35}.
= 127.
