All parameters given, low-speed urban or suburban road
Min Curve Radius
Calculates the absolute minimum and desirable minimum horizontal curve radius for road design using R_min = V^2 / (127 * (e_max + f)) per Austroads Guide to Road Design Part 3 Section 7. The desirable radius uses a reduced friction factor (0.7f) for an additional safety margin. Used in road geometric design to ensure vehicle stability and driver comfort on horizontal curves.
