Length of Valley Curve given Time and Design Speed Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length of Curve = Design Speed*Time
L_s = v*t
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

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.
Design Speed - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Design speed refers to the intended or planned operating speed for a particular section of a roadway or railway.
Time - (Measured in Second) - The time it takes for a vehicle or object to traverse the length of the valley curve while experiencing a specific rate of change of acceleration.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Design Speed: 5 Meter per Second --> 5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Time: 4 Second --> 4 Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L_s = v*t --> 5*4

Evaluating ... ...

L_s = 20

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

20 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

20 Meter <-- Length of Curve

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

Total Length of Valley Curve

Go Length of Curve = 2*sqrt((Deviation Angle*Design Speed^3)/Rate of Change of Acceleration)

Design Speed given Total Length of Valley Curve

Go Design Speed = ((Length of Curve/2)^2*Rate of Change of Acceleration/Deviation Angle)^(1/3)

Rate of Change of Acceleration given Total Length of Valley Curve

Go Rate of Change of Acceleration = (Length of Curve/2)^2*Deviation Angle*Design Speed^3

Deviation Angle given Total Length of Valley Curve

Go Deviation Angle = (Length of Curve/2)^2*Rate of Change of Acceleration/Design Speed^3

Design Speed given Length of Valley Curve

Go Design Speed = (Length of Curve*Radius of Curve*Rate of Change of Acceleration)^(1/3)

Radius of Curve given Length of Valley Curve

Go Radius of Curve = (Design Speed^3)/(Length of Curve*Rate of Change of Acceleration)

Rate of Change of Acceleration

Go Rate of Change of Acceleration = (Design Speed^3)/(Length of Curve*Radius of Curve)

Length of Valley Curve

Go Length of Curve = (Design Speed^3)/(Radius of Curve*Rate of Change of Acceleration)

Time given Rate of Change of Acceleration

Go Time = ((Design Speed^2)/Radius of Curve)/Rate of Change of Acceleration

Length of Valley Curve given Time and Design Speed

Go Length of Curve = Design Speed*Time

Design Speed given Length of Valley Curve and Time

Go Design Speed = Length of Curve/Time

Time given Length of Valley Curve and Design Speed

Go Time = Length of Curve/Design Speed

Length of Valley Curve given Time and Design Speed Formula

Length of Curve = Design Speed*Time
L_s = v*t

Length of the summit curve

The term "length of the valley curve" is usually used in the field of highway or railway engineering to describe a specific feature in the roadway design. It refers to the distance along the road or track where the alignment changes from an upward slope (crest) to a downward slope (sag), which creates a concave or valley-like shape.
