Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A new road requires a circular curve with a radius of 25 m. If the distance from the tangent is gauged at 10 m, calculate the radial and perpendicular offsets.

💡 Hint: Make sure to fully apply the formula as written step-by-step.

Question 2

In a design study, an engineer finds that a certain curve’s radius is not producing the desired outcomes. They want to redesign the curve. What principles should they ask?

💡 Hint: Think about alignment and vehicle handling!
