Vehicle Braking API

healthy 3,774 Subscribers

Vehicle-braking physics as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The stopping-distance endpoint computes the total distance to stop a vehicle as the sum of the reaction distance the vehicle travels during the driver's reaction time, v·t, and the braking distance v²/(2·μ·g) — which grows with the square of speed, so doubling the speed quadruples the braking distance — from the speed, the tyre-road friction coefficient, the reaction time and the road grade, along with the deceleration and the time to stop. The braking-force endpoint computes the braking force F = m·a and the deceleration of a vehicle, either from a stop-in-a-given-distance (a = v²/2d) or from the friction coefficient (a = μ·g), with the kinetic energy that must be dissipated as heat. The skid-speed endpoint reconstructs the speed at the start of a skid from the skid-mark length, v = √(2·μ·g·d), a lower-bound estimate used in accident reconstruction. Speed is in km/h by default (also m/s or mph), mass in kg and distances in m; dry asphalt has μ ≈ 0.7, wet ≈ 0.4 and ice ≈ 0.1. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for automotive, driving-safety, fleet, telematics and accident-reconstruction app developers, stopping-distance and forensic tools, and physics education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is vehicle braking; for general kinematics use a kinematics API and for an object on a slope an inclined-plane API.

NHTSA Vehicle API

US vehicle data as an API, built on the official NHTSA datasets. Decode any VIN into make, model, year, trim, body class, engine, drivetrain, fuel type and assembly plant. Browse the full catalogue of vehicle makes and the models offered for any make and year. Then pull the safety record for a vehicle: open recalls with the affected component, the manufacturer summary, consequence and remedy; owner complaints flagging crashes, fires, injuries and deaths; and the official NCAP crash-test star ratings (overall, frontal, side and rollover). Real government data, no key needed upstream. Ideal for car marketplaces, dealer tools, VIN-lookup widgets, insurance and recall-check apps.

Turbocharger Boost API

Turbocharger and boost engineering maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the pressure-ratio, charge-air and airflow numbers a tuner, engine builder or motorsport engineer sizes forced induction with. The pressure-ratio endpoint gives the compressor pressure ratio = absolute manifold pressure ÷ ambient = (atmospheric + boost) ÷ atmospheric, so 10 psi at sea level is a 1.68 ratio — the x-axis of every compressor map, which climbs at altitude where ambient pressure is lower. The charge-air endpoint shows why an intercooler matters: compressing air heats it (T₂ = T₁ × (1 + (PR^0.2857 − 1)/efficiency)), and hot air is less dense, so the real gain is the charge density ratio = pressure ratio × (T₁/T_charge), not the pressure ratio alone — 10 psi at 70 % compressor efficiency makes ~93 °C and a 1.37 density ratio with no intercooler, rising toward 1.6 once an intercooler claws back the heat, and the estimated power gain tracks the density. The airflow endpoint gives the engine mass airflow ≈ displacement × (rpm/2) × volumetric efficiency × charge density, in lb/min — the y-axis of the compressor map you plot against the pressure ratio to land in the efficient island and avoid surge or choke. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for engine-tuning and turbo-sizing tools, dyno and data-logging apps, and motorsport calculators. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Sizing estimates — verify on a dyno. 3 compute endpoints. For engine displacement and compression use an engine API; for shop compressed air a compressor API.

Air-Fuel Ratio API

Air-fuel ratio and lambda maths for engine tuning as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the lambda, AFR and mixture numbers a tuner, ECU developer or motorsport engineer dials fuelling in with. The lambda endpoint turns a measured air-fuel ratio into lambda (the AFR divided by the fuel's stoichiometric AFR — 14.7 for gasoline) and the equivalence ratio φ = 1/lambda, classifying the mix as rich, stoichiometric or lean: a gasoline AFR of 13.0 is lambda 0.88, an 11.6 % rich mixture, the sort used at wide-open throttle for power and a cooler, safer burn. The afr endpoint runs it the other way — pick a target lambda and it gives the AFR the wideband should read — and because the AFR number is fuel-specific (E85's stoichiometric AFR is about 9.8, not 14.7) it always works from the right fuel, which is why pros tune in lambda when switching fuels. The mixture endpoint links the air the engine breathes to the fuel the injectors must add: give an air mass and a target lambda and it returns the fuel mass (or vice-versa), the heart of how an ECU sizes fuelling from measured airflow. Built-in stoichiometric ratios for gasoline, E10, E85, ethanol, methanol, diesel, LPG, propane, methane/CNG and hydrogen, or pass your own. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for engine-tuning and dyno tools, ECU and standalone-management apps, motorsport and data-logging utilities. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. 3 compute endpoints. For engine displacement and power use an engine API; for chemical reaction stoichiometry a stoichiometry API.

Quarter Mile Drag API

Quarter-mile drag-strip maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the classic empirical estimates a racer, tuner or car enthusiast uses to relate a car's power and weight to its performance. The et endpoint gives the predicted elapsed time and trap speed from flywheel horsepower and race weight using the standard formulas — ET = 5.825 × (weight ÷ hp) raised to the one-third, trap speed = 234 × (hp ÷ weight) raised to the one-third — so a 3,000 lb car with 300 hp is predicted to run about 12.6 seconds at 109 mph, assuming a competent launch and decent traction. The horsepower endpoint runs it in reverse: because trap speed is set by power-to-weight and barely by the launch, hp ≈ weight × (trap ÷ 234) cubed is a popular way to estimate flywheel power straight off a timeslip. The power-to-weight endpoint gives the ratio that actually decides acceleration — in horsepower per pound, horsepower per ton and watts per kilogram, the cleanest cross-unit figure — with a performance class from commuter through hot hatch and supercar to hypercar, because a light 200 hp car can beat a heavy 400 hp one. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for drag-racing and tuner apps, car-spec and comparison tools, automotive enthusiasts and motorsport dashboards. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Empirical estimates assuming a good launch and traction — not a timeslip. 3 compute endpoints. For aerodynamic drag use a drag API; for gearing use a gear-ratio API.
