Deflection Angle of Entrance Curve Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Deflection Angle of Entrance Curve = (180*Length of Entrance Curve)/(pi*Radius of Curve for Taxiway)
D₁ = (180*L₁)/(pi*R_Taxiway)
This formula uses 1 Constants, 3 Variables

Constants Used

pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

Variables Used

Deflection Angle of Entrance Curve - (Measured in Radian) - Deflection Angle of Entrance Curve is the angle between the onward extension of the previous leg and the line ahead.
Length of Entrance Curve - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Entrance Curve measured is the trace left by a moving point.
Radius of Curve for Taxiway - (Measured in Meter) - Radius of Curve for Taxiway is the radius of a circle whose part, say, arc is taken for consideration.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Length of Entrance Curve: 20.1 Meter --> 20.1 Meter No Conversion Required
Radius of Curve for Taxiway: 53 Meter --> 53 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

D₁ = (180*L₁)/(pi*R_Taxiway) --> (180*20.1)/(pi*53)

Evaluating ... ...

D₁ = 21.7291541172256

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

21.7291541172256 Radian --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

21.7291541172256 ≈ 21.72915 Radian <-- Deflection Angle of Entrance Curve

Wheelbase given Turning Radius

LaTeX Go Wheelbase = sqrt(((Radius of Curve for Taxiway*(0.5*Taxiway Width))-Distance between Midway Points)/0.388)

Taxiway Width given Turning Radius

LaTeX Go Taxiway Width = (((0.388*Wheelbase^2)/Radius of Curve for Taxiway)+Distance between Midway Points)/0.5

Turning Speed of Aircraft given Radius of Curve

LaTeX Go Turning Speed of Aircraft = sqrt(Radius of Curve for Taxiway*Coefficient of Friction*125)

Turning Radius

LaTeX Go Radius of Curve for Taxiway = (Turning Speed of Aircraft^2)/(125*Coefficient of Friction)

Deflection Angle of Entrance Curve Formula

LaTeX Go

Deflection Angle of Entrance Curve = (180*Length of Entrance Curve)/(pi*Radius of Curve for Taxiway)
D₁ = (180*L₁)/(pi*R_Taxiway)

What is Sight distance?

Sight distance is the length of roadway visible to a driver. The three types of sight distance common in roadway design are intersection sight distance, stopping sight distance, and passing sight distance.
