Stake - Out of Curves with the Polar Method: Application in Trumpet Type Intersections

Abstract

The sustainability and efficiency of modern infrastructure are directly related to effective highway design. The increasing demands of industrialization, tourism, and trade have highlighted the need for fast and safe transportation. Trumpet-type interchanges provide a significant solution for these transportation needs. This study examines how the intermediate points of curves used in the connecting roads of trumpet-type interchanges can be staked out using the polar method. The research provides a detailed explanation of how to determine intermediate points of curve elements both at project and land level, supported by simulated data. The results offer a practical approach to enhancing accuracy and efficiency in engineering projects.
