Determination of Sight Distance on a Combined Crest and Circular Curve in a Three Dimensional Space

The sight distance (SD) on a two-dimensional (2-d) curve, namely, a vertical curve or a horizontal curve, has been well understood and documented for roadway geometric design in literature. In reality, three-dimensional (3-d) curves can be found along ramps, connectors, and often mountain roads. The...
