All parameters given, gentle curve on a rural highway
Superelevation Rate
Determines the required superelevation rate and transition development length for horizontal road curves using the point-mass equilibrium equation e + f = V^2/(127*R) per AASHTO Green Book and Austroads AGRD Part 3 Section 7.5. Balances centripetal force demand between pavement banking and tyre side friction to ensure vehicle stability through curves.
