Determine the correct velocity for the curve

Reference no: EM131179514

The curve connecting two straights is to be wholly transitional without intermediate circular arc, and the junction of the two transitions is to be 5 m from the intersection point of the straights which deflects through an angle of 18°. Calculate the tangent distances and the minimum radius of curvature. If the super-elevation is limited to 1 vertical to 16 horizontal, determine the correct velocity for the curve and the rate of gain of radial acceleration.
