Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A road curved segment has a radius of 200m and requires a super-elevation for designing a 70 km/h road. Calculate the required super-elevation in percentage and the length of a necessary transition curve assuming a gradual transition.

💡 Hint: Remember to convert speed to m/s when calculating.

Question 2

Evaluate the benefits and practical applications of using transition curves in high-speed rail design compared to standard highways.

💡 Hint: Think about the operational differences between rail and road transport.
