It is safe sight distance. There is no problem regarding OSD inc ase of valley curve. We consider only head light sight distance which is equal to SSD. And formula used is NS^2/1.5+0.35S.

Above comment is wrong correct answer is either based on comfort condition.

i.e 2{(Nv^3)/C}/1/2 or H.S.D that is difference (NS^2)/(1.5+.0355) or 2S-reverse.

No its not right answer either it is ns^2/4.4 or ns^2/9.6 but here 4.4 is not given. so correct is ns^2a/9.6.

Length of valley curve formula is 0.38*√ nv^2.

How this has come? Please explain.

For valley curves;

L= NS^2÷(1.5+0.035S) ; L>S.
L = 2S - N/(1.5+0.035S); L<S.

Whether, it is safe sight distance or overtaking sight distance? Please tell me.

Headlight sight distance means stopping sight distance so answer is Ns^2/4.4.

Garry said:   8 years ago
This should be Ns^2/4.4.

HSD should be at least equal to SSD.

Is it correct answer because formula is ns2/(1.5+0.035s)?

Raj said:   9 years ago
All the options are of summit curve not valley curve.
