Railways. • The transportation along the railways track could be advantageous by railways between the stations both for the passengers and goods, particularly for long distance. • It depends upon the road transport i.e. road could serve as a feeder system. • Energy require to haul a unit load through unit distance by the
Appendix D. Alignment and Superelevation. A. Horizontal alignment. The operational characteristics of a roadway are directly affected by its alignment. The alignment, in turn, affects vehicle operating speeds, sight distances, and highway capacity. The horizontal alignment is influenced by many factors including: Terrain.

The continuous line of a highway is formed longitudinally by its "alignment" in the horizontal and vertical planes. In combination with the cross-sectional element, the highway then -- in three dimensions -- becomes functional and operative. The elements for purposes of geometric design are first treated separately and finally

The process of designing the vertical alignment begins with plotting a profile of the existing terrain, and a tentative horizontal centerline must already be es- Divided highway cross section, depressed median, with ditches.
