Ideal vertical curve is circular but vertical curve provided in field is square parabola for summit curves and cubic parabola for valley curves.

Ideal vertical curve is circular if sight distance available throughout the length of curve is constant it possible only in case of Joining one Gradient. In this case, two gradient are Joint by curve therefore sight distance is not constant throughout the length of curve so we provide Simple Parabolic curve.

Because the parabolic curve can be either sag or summit curve, in both the cases parabolic curve provides the best curve to provide maximum comfort to the passengers pr driver.

Curves are two types they are Summit curve and valley curve.
And the best ideal curve is Summit curve.
And the best ideal curve is Summit curve.

Ideal curve is circular as per irc code.

A cubic spiral is suitable to cubic parabola but latter is used mostly because of its ease in setting out. Vertical curves are provided to negotiate the gradient of the two straights. Parabola is most suitable shape for vertical curves since it provides a uniform rate of change of gradient and smooth riding condition.
