To use this online evaluator for Length of Summit Curve when Length of Curve is less than OSD or ISD, enter Stopping Sight Distance (SSD), Height of Eye Level of Driver above Roadway (H) & Deviation Angle (N) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Length of Summit Curve when Length of Curve is less than OSD or ISD

What is the formula to find Length of Summit Curve when Length of Curve is less than OSD or ISD?
The formula of Length of Summit Curve when Length of Curve is less than OSD or ISD is expressed as Length of Parabolic Summit Curve = 2*Stopping Sight Distance-((8*Height of Eye Level of Driver above Roadway)/Deviation Angle). Here is an example- 200 = 2*160-((8*1.2)/0.08).
How to calculate Length of Summit Curve when Length of Curve is less than OSD or ISD?
With Stopping Sight Distance (SSD), Height of Eye Level of Driver above Roadway (H) & Deviation Angle (N) we can find Length of Summit Curve when Length of Curve is less than OSD or ISD using the formula - Length of Parabolic Summit Curve = 2*Stopping Sight Distance-((8*Height of Eye Level of Driver above Roadway)/Deviation Angle).
What are the other ways to Calculate Length of Parabolic Summit Curve?
Here are the different ways to Calculate Length of Parabolic Summit Curve-
  • Length of Parabolic Summit Curve=2*Stopping Sight Distance-(((2*Height of Eye Level of Driver above Roadway)^0.5+(2*Height of Subject above Pavement Surface)^0.5)^2/Deviation Angle)OpenImg
  • Length of Parabolic Summit Curve=(Deviation Angle*Stopping Sight Distance^2)/((2*Height of Eye Level of Driver above Roadway)^0.5+(2*Height of Subject above Pavement Surface)^0.5)^2OpenImg
  • Length of Parabolic Summit Curve=(Deviation Angle*(Stopping Sight Distance^2))/(8*Height of Eye Level of Driver above Roadway)OpenImg
Can the Length of Summit Curve when Length of Curve is less than OSD or ISD be negative?
No, the Length of Summit Curve when Length of Curve is less than OSD or ISD, measured in Length cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Length of Summit Curve when Length of Curve is less than OSD or ISD?
