Example figures: duration of high current velocity
From BAWiki
Explanations
Period of time during which the magnitude of current velocity lies above a given velocity limit.
- left top: value of the parameter for the 1st class [limit velocity: 0.1 m/s].
- right top: value of the parameter for the 3rd class [limit velocity: 0.5 m/s].
- left bottom: value of the parameter for the 5th class [limit velocity: 0.9 m/s].
- right bottom: value of the parameter for the 7th class [limit velocity: 1.3 m/s].
