Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a transition curve that satisfies the following conditions: start with zero curvature, gradually increase to a specified radius, and provide full super-elevation by the end. Specify the equations used.

💡 Hint: Focus on how curvature and elevation change.

Question 2

Calculate the required length of a transition curve if a vehicle traveling at 50 km/h needs to change direction into a circular curve with a radius of 200 meters, including necessary safety margins.

💡 Hint: Think about the speed and curve radius relation.
