Overview

  • The Car Stopping Distance App is an interactive web tool built using R and Shiny[cite: 1].
  • It helps users analyze the relationship between vehicle speed and braking distance.
  • Uses R’s built-in cars dataset for instant reliability.

The Dataset (cars)

The dataset records speed and stopping distances from the 1920s:
