Transportation Engineering Question on Geometric design of railway Track
The number of trains and their corresponding speeds for a curved Broad Gauge section with 437 m radius, are
- 20 trains travel at a speed of 40 km/hr
- 15 trains travel at a speed of 50 km/hr
- 12 trains travel at a speed of 60 km/hr
- 8 trains travel at a speed of 70 km/hr
- 3 trains travel at a speed of 80 km/hr
If the gauge (center-to-center distance between the rail heads) is taken as 1750 mm, the required equilibrium cant (in mm) will be ______ (rounded off to the nearest integer).
Answer
The answer is: 86 or 90 (approx.)
