VERTICAL SUMMIT CURVE

DATA
Type of road = National highway
Width of the roadway = 12m
Type of zone = Plain terrian
Terrian slope = 0 to 10%
Type of road surface = Bitumious

N1 = 1/30 N2 = 1/30
0.033333 -0.03333

L
Design speed = 65
a)Deviation angle N = 0.066667
b)Sight distance = 90

CASE I
HEADLIGHT SIGHT DISTANCE
I)Length of the curve
L= NS2 (When L is less than S)
1.50+0.035S
= 540
4.65
= 116.1290323

L= 2S - 1.50+0.035S (When L is Greater than S)

N
= 180 - 4.65
0.066666667

= 110.25
So the length of the curve is = 123 m
