All parameters given, gentle curves on mainline or branch line
Transition Spiral Length
Determines the governing minimum transition spiral length at rail curve entries by evaluating three independent criteria: cant runoff rate, cant deficiency rate of change, and twist limit. The maximum of L_cant, L_cd, and L_twist governs, ensuring passenger comfort and track stability per ARTC ETS-05-00 and AREMA Chapter 5.
