Compute the elevation of the PVT(point of vertical tangency) if the length of the curve is 280 m 2. The driver of a car traveling at 65 mph saw an obstruction ahead. If the reaction distance is 72.2 m, compute the reaction time.
Determine the minimum length of a vertical curve between a +1.48% grade and a +6.2% grade for a road with a 100 km/h design speed. The vehicle approaches the curve from the side of +1.48% grade. The vertical curve must provide the sufficient stopping sight distance and meet the appearance criteria. For stopping sight distance the both vehicle and object are located within the vertical curve. Consider a new road with a single carriageway in each direction, Rt=2.0s, d=0.36, h1=1.1m, h2=0.2m, height of headlight,h = 0.65m and q=1 degree.
