Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Based on a summit curve with a gradient of 2% upward followed by a 1.5% downward, calculate the necessary length of the vertical curve to ensure a smooth transition.

💡 Hint: What is the total change in gradient you need to consider?

Question 2

Design a valley curve connecting a steep downgrade of 3% to a mild upgrade of 1%, and assess the required sight distance to ensure safety.

💡 Hint: Remember that sight distance should account for nighttime conditions too!
