Question: P 2 : A&B For this problem, consider a design velocity of 5 0 [ mph ] and curves that are designed to provide adequate

P2: A&B
For this problem, consider a design velocity of 50[mph] and curves that are designed to provide adequate
Stopping Sight Distance.
Assume that vertical curve design parameter values are the following.
h_(1)(driver's eye)
h_(2) for SSD (object)
h_(2) for PSD (object)
h_(H)(height of headlights)
\beta (angle of headlight)
|a|
t_(r)
3.0[ft]
1.0[ft]
4.0[ft]
1.5[ft]
1\deg
16.0[f(t)/(sec^(2))]50[mph] G_(1)=0.02 and G_(2)=-0.01. What is
the minimum length of curve required to provide adequate Stopping Sight Distance at 40[mph]? Provide
your answer to the nearest foot, and remember to check your conditions.
