A transition curve is required for a circular curve of 200 metre radius, the gauge being 1.5 m and maximum super elevation restricted to 15 cm. The transition is to be designed for a velocity such that no lateral pressure is imposed on the rails and the rate of gain of radial acceleration is 30 cm/Sec3 . The required length of the transition curve and the design speed respectively are:
1
14 m/s and 46 m
2
46 m and 24 m/s
3
24 m/s and 46 m
4
46 m and 14 m/s
