(*) data collection mode

Calculation for light vehicles:

The speed limits on the route were considered;
At each change in limit, the relative acceleration/deceleration time was considered;
The average acceleration for light vehicles was considered to be 1.5 m/s2;
The average deceleration for light vehicles was considered to be 2.0 m/s2;

Calculation for heavy vehicles:

In addition to considering the speed limits on the routes, the speed limit for heavy vehicles was also considered: 100 km/h on the A36 and 80 km/h on the A59 and A60;
At each change in limit, the relative acceleration/deceleration time was considered;
The average acceleration for heavy vehicles was considered to be 0.8 m/s²;
The average deceleration for heavy vehicles was considered to be 1.2 m/s²;
