What is Chord of Curvature in Transition Curves about?
1. The document discusses methods for laying out horizontal curves using coordinate methods. Instrument coordinates are established and curve point coordinates are calculated based on known values like radius, intersection angle, and coordinates. 2. Transition curves are introduced between tangents and circular curves to provide a gradual change in curvature and allow higher speeds. Design criteria include tangency and rates of change. 3. Superelevation or "cant" is used to counteract centrifugal force on
