All parameters given, gentle curves on mainline or branch
Cant Calculation
Computes equilibrium cant, cant deficiency, and maximum allowable speed for curved railway track sections using the ARTC ETS-05-00 / AREMA formula E_eq = C * V^2 / R. Supports both standard and narrow gauge constants, and is used in track geometry design to balance passenger comfort against derailment risk on curves.
