Use this page of the Calculate Cant wizard to specify the equilibrium cant formula, maximum allowable cant deficiency, and attainment and transition tables.
Specifies the formula that calculates the elevation of one rail relative to the other to compensate for lateral forces due to horizontal curvature.
Click to either specify another formula or to build an expression.
Specifies the maximum allowable difference between equilibrium cant and applied cant.
Click to either specify another formula or to build an expression.
Specifies the xml file and tables used to calculate cant.
Specifies the name and location of the design criteria file. This file defines the applied cant tables, transition length tables, and attainment methods for various railway types and design speeds.
Specifies the amount by which the ballast is elevated or lowered in relation to the profile grade line.
Specifies the name of the cant transition length table used to calculate the transition stations. Click the arrow to display a list of the transition length tables associated with the specified Applied Cant Table.
Specifies the name of the cant attainment method. Click the arrow to display a list of the attainment methods associated with the specified design criteria file.
Specifies the parameter for the transition formula from the criteria file. The percentage that is entered is converted to a decimal percent and used in the formula. If the specified Attainment Method does not recognize this parameter, this section is disabled. If a curve is preceded or succeeded by another curve, the tangent transition formula is applied.
Specifies to automatically detect overlap conditions and set the overlapping stations to the same station. This option is only available when cant is applied to the whole alignment. When cant is being calculated for anything other than the entire alignment, this control is hidden.
