Math on waypoints interpolation

float frameRate = (float)(CSimApplication::m_pSimApp->GetFrameRate());
float oneStep = 1 / frameRate;
float factor = (l_transform->m_MotionInfo.m_fSpeed /
            l_transform->m_MotionInfo.m_fDist) * m_fElapsedTime;
                           
l_transform->m_MotionInfo.m_fS += oneStep * factor;

If I calculate onestep from the frame rate of the game

For example: 25

oneStep = 1/25 = 0.04

When m_fS is 1.0, the object finishes one waypoint

I just multiply a factor with considerations of speed, distance and current time elapsed

Can I assume

if speed increases, factor increases, the interpolator runs faster.

If distance increases, factor.decreases, the interpolator runs slower

If time elapsed increases, factor increases, the interpolator runs faster.

Not sure still cannot get it right.

Note: I just clamp the fS if frames run out

Complete code would be nice, but a clearly strange thing is that fS is claimed to be dimensionless (increasing from 0 to 1 during the transition between two waypoints) but it is a time instead.

Can you explain how interpolation between waypoints affects, and is affected by, the movement described by the speed, distnce and elapsed time variables?
