An ideal transition curve is
cubic parabola
cubic spiral
clothoid spiral
true spiral.
Answer: Option
Explanation:

IRC recommends Spiral or clothoid as the ideal transition curve due to following reasons:

1. It satisfies that rate of change of centrifugal acceleration is constant i.e., Ls.R = constant. Where Ls = length of transition curve R = radius of curve.

2. The calculation and field implementation of spiral curve is simple and easy.

3. It enhances aesthetics also.
