Ruling Minimum Radius Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Ruling Minimum Radius = Velocity^2/([g]*(Rate of Super Elevation+Coefficient of Lateral Friction))
R_ruling = v_vehicle^2/([g]*(e+f_lateral))
This formula uses 1 Constants, 4 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Variables Used

Ruling Minimum Radius - (Measured in Meter) - Ruling Minimum Radius is the minimum radius of a curve in a road design, ensuring safe and smooth traffic flow at desired speeds.
Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity is the rate of change of an object's position with respect to time, used in superelevation design to ensure safe and efficient traffic flow.
Rate of Super Elevation - Rate of Super Elevation is the rate at which the outer rail is raised above the inner rail in a curve to balance centrifugal force.
Coefficient of Lateral Friction - Coefficient of Lateral Friction is a measure of the frictional force that opposes the motion of a vehicle on a curved path in superelevation design.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Velocity: 28.23 Meter per Second --> 28.23 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Rate of Super Elevation: 0.17926 --> No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Lateral Friction: 0.15 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

R_ruling = v_vehicle^2/([g]*(e+f_lateral)) --> 28.23^2/([g]*(0.17926+0.15))

Evaluating ... ...

R_ruling = 246.809633355257

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

246.809633355257 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

246.809633355257 ≈ 246.8096 Meter <-- Ruling Minimum Radius
