Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A transition curve has a radius of 80 m. Compute the required length for a vehicle to transition safely at a speed of 15 m/sec. Assume a super-elevation rate of 1 in 150.

💡 Hint: Plug in your values for n, b, v, g, and R to find L.

Question 2

Discuss how inadequate super-elevation could affect different types of vehicles differently (e.g., cars vs. trucks).

💡 Hint: Use examples from vehicle dynamics to illustrate your points.
