Velocity of Vehicle for Psychological Widening Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Velocity = 2.64*Psychological Widening at Horizontal Curves*sqrt(Mean Radius of Curve)
v_vehicle = 2.64*W_ps*sqrt(R_mean)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 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

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.
Psychological Widening at Horizontal Curves - (Measured in Meter) - Psychological Widening at Horizontal Curves is the widening of the pavement at horizontal curves to provide a comfortable and safe driving experience.
Mean Radius of Curve - (Measured in Meter) - Mean Radius of Curve is the average radius of a curve section in road design, used to calculate superelevation and widening of the road.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Psychological Widening at Horizontal Curves: 0.579919 Meter --> 0.579919 Meter No Conversion Required
Mean Radius of Curve: 340 Meter --> 340 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

v_vehicle = 2.64*W_ps*sqrt(R_mean) --> 2.64*0.579919*sqrt(340)

Evaluating ... ...

v_vehicle = 28.2299899312402

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

28.2299899312402 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

28.2299899312402 ≈ 28.22999 Meter per Second <-- Velocity

Distance between Front and Rear Wheel

Go Distance between Front and Rear Wheel = 2*Radius of Outer Track Line of Front Wheel*Mechanical Widening on Horizontal Curves-Mechanical Widening on Horizontal Curves^2

Ruling Minimum Radius

Go Ruling Minimum Radius = Velocity^2/([g]*(Rate of Super Elevation+Coefficient of Lateral Friction))

Mechanical Widening needed for Large Radius of Road Curve

Go Mechanical Widening on Horizontal Curves = (Number of Lanes*Distance between Front and Rear Wheel^2)/(2*Mean Radius of Curve)

Psychological Widening at Horizontal Curves

Go Psychological Widening at Horizontal Curves = Velocity/(2.64*sqrt(Mean Radius of Curve))

Velocity of Vehicle for Psychological Widening Formula

Velocity = 2.64*Psychological Widening at Horizontal Curves*sqrt(Mean Radius of Curve)
v_vehicle = 2.64*W_ps*sqrt(R_mean)

What is Psychological Effect?

Due to psychological effect, vehicles need more width to cross or overtake an other vehicle on the horizontal curve than straight path.
