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)

Length of Central Curve Formula

LaTeX Go

Length of Central Curve = (pi*Radius of Central Curve*Deflection Angle of Central Curve)/180
L2 = (pi*R2*D₂)/180

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.
