RECENT APPLICATIONS OF THE CLOTHOID EQUATION IN HIGHWAY DESIGN

ULTERIORI IMPIEGHI DELL'EQUAZIONE DELLA CLOTOIDE NELLE COSTRUZIONE STRADALE

The particular feature of the clothoide proposed, is that it renders the road axis very similar to the effective trajectory of a vehicle driven in a normal way. Improved aesthetics are also claimed for the curve which has a more gradual variation in its first section than in the last. /TRRL/
