Q4(25 points)
A sag curve is being constructed in a rural setting to transition between a horizontal section (G=0%) and a section with a 6% grade. The posted speed limit is 80kmhr. The initial design does not include streetlights on the curve. The coefficient of friction of the road is 0.32 and the headlights are 0.5 m off of the ground.
i) Using the following equation for headlight control, what length of curve is required?
ii) Using the K-values for headlight control (Table 3.5 from Vertical Curves handout) what is the required length? What might cause the difference with the previous value? iii) If street lights were built on the section, what would the required length be?
