Calculation Methodology

Speed (m/s) = Speed (km/h) / 3.6. Lateral Acceleration (a_c) = (Speed m/s)^2 / Radius (m). Lateral G = a_c / 9.80665. Centrifugal Force (N) = Mass (kg) * a_c.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most everyday drivers feel noticeable discomfort and sensation of roll above 0.3 to 0.4 G lateral acceleration.
