An engineer is assigned to design a vertical curve for a highway with the design speed is 70 mph. Knowing that the gradients are 3% uphill and -2% downhill. What is the minimum design length of the vertical curve? example

Solution: Find the value of K from exhibit (page 272 of AASHTO 2004) For 70mph K = 247 Find the value of algebraic difference in grade A= G1 -G2 A= 3 -(-2) A= 5 Find minimum length of the vertical curve by using equation L= K*A L = 247 * 5 = 1235 ft Or using exhibit 3-71 (page 271 of AASHTO)

Def: the distance that allows a driver to complete a normal pass while that driver can observe that there is no potential threat ahead before making the pass. Total of below distances is the design distance for two lanes highway. Initial maneuver distance Distance while passing vehicle occupies left lane Clearance distance Distance traversed by an opposing vehicle Passing sight distance

Rarely use in crest vertical design because it is difficult to fit the length of the curve. Can be used when the design speed is low and does not have high gradient, or higher speed with very small algebraic difference in grades Commonly use at location where combinations of alignment and profile do not need the use of crest vertical curves Height of an object is assumed to be 3.5ft instead of 2ft in general equation. (Simplified equation can be found on page 270 of AASHTO Green Book)

In exhibit 3-7, K values are calculated by the equation Passing vehicle speed usually is assumed 10 to 15 mph higher than the passed vehicle. From page 124 of AASHTO’s A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets 2004

Def: “the distance at which an object 3.5ft above pavement surface can be seen from a point 3.5ft above the pavement.” (page 3B-5) Only use for traffic operation-control needs, such as placing “No Passing” zone warrant. Minimum passing sight distances are shown in Table 3B-1, page 3B-7 of 2003 MUTCD book. Thank you
