I may have done this before Response Time Calculations
If anyone sees anything wrong in this - please drop me a note Lets says we have a 5 square mile town and 10 patrol cars each patrol car has to patrol one half square mile One half square mile is .7 miles by .7 miles (approx) - because 7 X 7 = 49 - or .7 X .7 = .49 If a patrol car sits in the middle of a half square mile area, then the distance to the borders is approx .35 miles Traveling at 60 MPH is equivalent to 1 mile per minute Traveling at 30 MPH is equivalent to traveling half a mile per minute At 30 MPH a patrol car can cover .35 miles in apparox 40 seconds Bottom line - with 10 patrol units in a 5 square mile area, response times at 30 MPH should be a maximum of 40 seconds - maybe 60 seconds going into the croners of the patrol area -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
