THE SUPERELEVATION OF CURVES AND THE TRANSITION OF THE SUPERELEVATION

DE VERKANTING IN BOGEN EN DE OVERGANG VAN DE VERKANTING

On bends superelevation is intended to reduce sideways forces. Standards for safe superelevation are mainly based on practical experience. As regards the slope required for superelevation run-off, special attention has to be paid to the stability of high vehicles. /TRRL/
