Simple Definition & Summary for “Transition Curve”

Transition Curve
A transition curve (also called a spiral or easement curve) provides a gradual change between a straight path (tangent) and a circular curve, ensuring smooth entry and exit for vehicles.

Key Points You Can Use in Your Description:

Eases centrifugal acceleration by gradually increasing curvature.

Common types: Clothoid (Euler spiral), Cubic parabola, and Bessel curve.

Designed based on design speed, curve radius, and allowable rate of change of lateral acceleration.

Improves ride comfort, reduces wear on pavement and wheels, and enhances safety.

Follows standard guidelines (e.g., IRC) for minimum length and rate of transition.
