The Height of The Obstruction
The Height of The Obstruction refers to its vertical dimension, blocking a line of sight or path, often in transportation, construction or safety.
Symbol: h2
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Sight Distance
Sight Distance is s the minimum distance between two vehicles moving along a curve, when the driver of one vehicle can just see the other vehicle on the road.
Symbol: S
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Length of Curve
Length of Curve is the distance along the road where the alignment changes from upward to downward slope, creating a valley-shaped concave.
Symbol: Ls
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
