Sight Distance More than Length of Summit Curve Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Sight Distance = (Length of Curve/2)+(sqrt(2*Driver Sight Height)+sqrt(2*The Height of The Obstruction))^2/(2*Deviation Angle)
S = (L_s/2)+(sqrt(2*h₁)+sqrt(2*h₂))^2/(2*N)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 5 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Sight Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Sight Distance is s the minimum distance between two vehicles moving along a curve, when the driver of one vehicle can just see the other vehicle on the road.
Length of Curve - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Curve is the distance along the road where the alignment changes from upward to downward slope, creating a valley-shaped concave.
Driver Sight Height - (Measured in Meter) - Driver Sight Height refers to the vertical distance between the driver's eye level and the road surface while seated in a vehicle.
The Height of The Obstruction - (Measured in Meter) - The Height of The Obstruction refers to its vertical dimension, blocking a line of sight or path, often in transportation, construction or safety.
Deviation Angle - (Measured in Radian) - Deviation Angle is the angle between the reference direction and the observed direction.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Length of Curve: 94.72078 Meter --> 94.72078 Meter No Conversion Required
Driver Sight Height: 32.5 Meter --> 32.5 Meter No Conversion Required
The Height of The Obstruction: 55 Meter --> 55 Meter No Conversion Required
Deviation Angle: 70.93883 Degree --> 1.2381161510123 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S = (L_s/2)+(sqrt(2*h₁)+sqrt(2*h₂))^2/(2*N) --> (94.72078/2)+(sqrt(2*32.5)+sqrt(2*55))^2/(2*1.2381161510123)

Evaluating ... ...

S = 186.327701334855

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

186.327701334855 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

186.327701334855 ≈ 186.3277 Meter <-- Sight Distance
