All parameters given, gentle curve on a rural highway
Curve Elements
Computes the geometric elements of a simple horizontal circular curve given the radius, deflection angle, and intersection-point chainage, per AGRD Part 3. Derives tangent length (T = R tan(delta/2)), arc length, external distance, mid-ordinate, and PC/PT chainages. Used in road and rail alignment design to set out curve geometry in the field.
