P-Way Vertical Design

Vertical alignment, gradient design, and vertical curve calculations to L2/TRK/2049 §B.4.1.

Vertical alignment design to Network Rail L2/TRK/2049. Scope:

  • Gradient design (1V in N ruling, 1V in 200 minimum)
  • Vertical curve radius (R = V² / 4.4 minimum, hollows and humps auto-detected)
  • Sags and summits
  • Jointed vs CWR (continuous welded rail) treatment
  • Level crossing vertical design
  • Tunnel and overbridge clearances

Outputs include long-section drawings, gradient profiles, and tamper chord analysis.
