THE MECHANIZATION OF CURVE REALIGNMENT

A new procedure is described for the mechanization of curve realignment without the necessity of resurveying or re-staking the curve, by the use of a track lining machine. This method can be used for the realignment of transition curves. Particular emphasis is placed on the theoretical basis of the method. The method divides the curve into equal small parts. A comparison is then made of the height of the arc over the chord of each part.
