Distance-time diagram

A distance-time diagram is a special form of a two-dimensional diagram in which a length is shown on one axis and a time is shown on the other axis. Distance-time diagrams are used as:

• Path-time diagram (line construction site) in the construction planning
• Path-time diagram (mechanics) , for the representation of motion sequences in technical mechanics
• Distance-time diagram , in pneumatics and hydraulics, see function diagram
• Distance-time diagram , for controlling ship traffic, for example on the Kiel Canal
• Distance-time diagram , for the representation of movement sequences in accident reconstruction

See also:

• Graphical timetable , to illustrate the movement of means of transport in the form of a time-distance diagram, i.e. with axes swapped over in relation to the distance-time diagram
