Establishing Mathematical Frameworks for Fleet Intercepts
You are drafting a 'Standard Operating Procedure' manual for a logistics company. In the section on 'Modeling Catch-Up Scenarios,' you need to explain the theoretical basis for using a system of equations to solve intercept problems. Describe the two fundamental mathematical relationships that must be recalled to establish the system of equations. Specifically, explain how the distances traveled by both vehicles are related and how the departure delay affects the representation of each vehicle's travel time.
