Abstract
There is no intention on the part of the writer to advance a new theory for the transition spiral design, but rather to consolidate what has already been known into some well defined expressions that could be used to better advantage in design. This paper is a step-by-step approach to the problem of expressing the length of transition spiral as ' a function of three quantities-the speed, the radius of the circular curve, and the maximum rate of superelevation on the curve.Keywords
