Transition curves are used in the route design of highways and railways, or trajectories for automatic guided vehicles, to achieve smooth transitions between lines and/or circles. The book recently published by Kobryń provides an updated survey on the topic.
Presented here are steps and procedures necessary for the computation of the staking out coordinates of the centerline of the curve data. The steps are simple since no prior knowledge of programming is necessary as the functions used are in-built in the Excel spreadsheet.
15 sty 2014 · This paper presents new solutions in the area of general transition curves. General transition curves describe a curvilinear transition between two rectilinear directions using only one equation. The curves ensure continuous change of curvature all over the curvilinear transition.
The new transition curve can be used instead of cubic parabola especially when long transition lengths are required. The new transition curve can also be used successfully to join 2 homo-bending arcs.

Use this command to draw a transition curve. Indicate the start position and the approximate end position for the transition curve. If the second point is above the first position, the curve will be drawn upwards and if the second position is below the first position, the curve will be drawn downwards.
A transition curve differs from a circular curve in that its radius is constantly changing. As may be expected, such curves involve more complex formulae than curves of constant radius and their design can be complicated.
