buffer distance

buffer distance

In nuclear warfare:1. The horizontal distance which, when added to the radius of safety, will give the desired assurance that the specified degree of risk will not be exceeded. The buffer distance is normally expressed quantitatively in multiples of the delivery error.
2. The vertical distance which is added to the fallout safe-height of burst in order to determine a desired height of burst which will provide the desired assurance that militarily significant fallout will not occur. It is normally expressed quantitatively in multiples of the vertical error.

Similarly, if a car slows for 3 seconds, or just long enough to force the car behind it to slow too, the car behind must delay resuming speed long enough to rebuild buffer distance. At 60 miles (or about 100 km) per hour, cars are supposed to maintain 6 car-lengths.
BUFFER encloses point and line features within a polygon and allows the user to define the buffer distance between the feature and the polygon edge.
