About Cant

Cant is the change in elevation of rails in the horizontal curves in a railway. Cant is the rail equivalent of superelevation in roads.

Use the cant tools to calculate and edit the change in elevation of rails in the horizontal curves in a railway. The tools to calculate cant and superelevation are very similar.

Cant should be calculated before the corridor model is built along the alignment. The corridor model is not dynamic to changes in the alignment cant data. You must rebuild the corridor to include the updated cant data.
