Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A proposed road deflects 36 degrees and requires a transition radius determined at 100m. Calculate the length needed for the transition curve.
💡 Hint: Ensure to check the conversion of degrees!
Calculate the maximum super-elevation required for a circular curve with a radius of 200m where a vehicle is traveling at 70km/h.
💡 Hint: Remember to convert km/h to m/s first!
