03. For a 2° curve on a high speed Broad Gauge (BG) rail section, the maximum sanctioned speed is 100 km/h and the equilibrium speed is 80 km/h. Consider dynamic gauge of BG rail as 1750 mm. The degree of curve is defined as the angle subtended at its center by a 30.5 m arc. The cant deficiency for the curve (in mm. round off to integer) is
In Figure Question 5 . The 2nd street is eastbound with offsets of+ 15 s between successive signals. The 3rd street is westbound with offsets of + 10 s between successive signals. Avenue A is northbound. The offset between the intersections of Avenue A and 3rd Street and Avenue A and 2nd street is 20 seconds. Given this information, find the offsets along Avenues B through J. The directions alternate, and all splits are 60:40, with the 60 on the main streets (2nd and 3rd streets). Cycle length = 60 s.
