A vertical curve is to be designed to connect a −4%grade to a +1% grade on a facility with a design speed of 70 mi/h. For economic reasons, a minimum-length curve will be provided. A driver-reaction time of 2.5 seconds may be used in sight distance determinations. The V.P.I. of the curve is at station 5,100 + 22 and has an elevation of 1,285 ft. Find the station and elevation of the V.P.C. and V.P.T., the high point of the curve, and at 100-ft intervals along the curve.
