| Item | Formula / Note | Source / Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Chord of a circular curve | C = 2 · R · sin(Delta/2), where Delta is the deflection angle | JTG D20-2017, Design Specification for Highway Alignment |
| Tangent length | T = R · tan(Delta/2) | JTG D20-2017, Design Specification for Highway Alignment |
| Curve length | L = R · Delta, with Delta expressed in radians | JTG D20-2017, Design Specification for Highway Alignment |
| External distance | E = R · ( sec(Delta/2) - 1 ) | JTG D20-2017, Design Specification for Highway Alignment |
