Extract

Depending on how the encounter rate is defined, different values can be found for the crossing angle or speed giving the smallest encounter rate. When dealing with ‘optimum crossing angles’ or ‘optimum speeds’ it is therefore proper to know which definition is taken as a basis, i.e. which expression is minimized.
