Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A vehicle is moving at 25 m/s through a curve with a radius of 50 meters. Calculate the required super-elevation if friction coefficient is 0.15.

💡 Hint: Convert speed into appropriate units and substitute into the equations.

Question 2

Analyze how the curve design changes if the terrain shifts from flat to mountainous. What implications does this have on super-elevation?

💡 Hint: Consider friction and vehicle dynamics when recalculating super-elevation for safety.
