Question #1: Horizontal Curve Design |2 pts
A proposed highway (circular) curve with a 50-mph design speed and radius of 1100ft will have an atgrade crossing with an existing railroad line at point A as shown in the figure below. The railroad is parallel to the line connecting the PI to the PT and the separation distance is 150ft. The station of the PI is 96+56. Find the station of Point A.(Note: the figure is drawn proportionally). Hints: (1) Notice the angle between the tangent lines and the curve radii at the PC and the PT.(2) How can we find the arc length between points A and PT?
