A horizontal curve is being designed through mountainous terrain for a four-lane road with lanes that are 12 ft wide. The central angle (Δ) is known to be = 24o30’ 15”, the tangent distance is 600 ft, and the stationing of the tangent intersection (PI) is 700+00. Under specified conditions and vehicle speed, the roadway surface is determined to have a coefficient of side friction of 0.08, and the curve’s superelevation is 0.06 ft/ft. What is the stationing of PC and PT and what is the safe vehicle speed?
A horizontal curve on a two-lane highway is designed with a 610-m radius, 3.5-m lanes, and 80 kph design speed. Determine the distance that must be cleared from the inside edge of the inner lane to provide sufficient stopping sight distance. (Note: Curve radius is typically reckoned from the centerline of the roadway, and driver location is assumed to be at the middle of the travelled lane.) Assume coefficient of friction as 0.35.
ANSWER M =4.0 ?
A vehicle traverses a superelevated curve at 52 kph. If the radius of the curve is 64 meters, and the coefficient of friction is equal to 0.3, calculate the angle of superelevation (0) as measured from the horizontal.
