Vagu ātrums parasti ir no 15 līdz 25 kilometriem stundā, atkarībā no zirgu šķirnes, ceļa apstākļiem un slodzes .
Key faktori, kas ietekmē pārvadāšanas ātrumu
Horse breed: Thoroughbred horses (such as thoroughbreds) can sprint up to 60 kilometers per hour, but the actual speed is significantly reduced when pulling a carriage continuously due to weight and fatigue. Endurance horses such as Mongolian horses are more suitable for long-distance transportation, but their speed is relatively slow.
Road conditions: Ancient official roads or flat roads can maintain higher speeds, while rugged mountain roads or muddy roads in rainy days will greatly reduce efficiency. Load type: The speed of light carriages carrying people is higher than that of heavy freight vehicles, and chariots have the lowest speed due to the weight of armor and weapons.
Vēsturiski ieraksti un tipiski dati
Epperimentālie dati: Seno ķīniešu rati simulācijas testi parāda, ka maksimālais ātrums pēc paātrinājuma ir 21 . 6 kilometri stundā.
Records literatūrā: Dienas un nakts rekordlielais ierobežojums, mainot zirgus pasta stacijā, ir 1, 000 kilometri dienā (apmēram 41 . 6 kilometrus stundā), bet tas ir izņēmums.
Regular journey: In ancient times, it took 45 days for a horse carriage to travel from Guangzhou to Beijing (2,000 kilometers), with an average daily speed of about 45 kilometers, equivalent to a speed of less than 20 kilometers per hour.
