Determine the minimum length of a vertical curve in a residential street if the grades are –4% and +3%. A design speed of 10 km/h higher than the posted speed limit has been adopted for this road. Consider the most common and desirable assumptions for road design in Australia. Assume stopping sight distance for this road is higher than the length of the vertical curve. Consider passenger car to obtain the height of eye of driver and object height (car tail light). Select one: a. None b. 35 c. 64 d. 81
A composite curve is used to connect two highway centerlines. The transitions are to be designed such that the centrifugal ratio is 0.197 while the rate of change of the radial acceleration is 0.45m/S3 at a design speed of 100 km/hr. If the chainage at the intersection of the straights is 2154.22m and the angle of deviation is 300 00’ 00”, calculate: The length of the transition The chainage at the beginning and the end of the total composite curve. The setting out angles for the entry transition curve.
