Compute the external distance of a circular curve from its radius and deflection angle.
输入圆曲线半径 R 与转角 Δ(度),求外距。
| Item | Formula / Note | Source / Standard |
|---|---|---|
| External distance | E = R · ( sec(Delta/2) - 1 ), where Delta is the deflection angle | JTG D20-2017, Design Specification for Highway Alignment |
| Equivalent form | E = R · ( 1/cos(Delta/2) - 1 ) | JTG D20-2017, Design Specification for Highway Alignment |
| Use | The external distance locates the curve midpoint (QZ) for setting out | JTG D20-2017, Design Specification for Highway Alignment |
| Dependence on the deflection angle | For a fixed radius, a larger deflection angle gives a larger external distance | JTG D20-2017, Design Specification for Highway Alignment |

曲线外距 E:道路/铁路圆曲线中,交点(JD)到曲线中点的垂直偏移,E=R·(sec(Δ/2)−1)(R 半径、Δ 偏角)。
用于路线放样与征地范围估算;外距越大说明转角越急或半径越小,需更多用地。
