Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the minimum required length of a transition curve to safely accommodate a vehicle traveling at 60 km/h with a radius of 150 m of the circular curve.

💡 Hint: Convert km/h to m/s and incorporate proper parameters.

Question 2

Evaluate the consequence of inadequate super-elevation on a transition curve with a radius of 100 m and a vehicle speed of 80 km/h.

💡 Hint: Consider the balance of forces acting on a vehicle during a turn.
