Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a reverse curve for a highway segment connecting two lines. The first has a radius of 900m, and the second radius should allow for a smooth transition given a deflection angle of 45°. Calculate the required parameters.

💡 Hint: Apply trigonometric functions and verify your design against safety standards.

Question 2

A reverse curve connects two roads with an initial radius of 500m and an ending radius of 300m. How would you calculate the external distance and length of the curve?

💡 Hint: Use the relationships we've defined about tangential distances and arc lengths.
