An SVC connects a -4% grade to a +4% grade. The curve goes under a pedestrian bridge at PVI. The vertical clearance under the bridge should be 15 ft and the required sight distance is 984 ft. The height of the driver's eye is 6 ft, and the assumed hazardous object is 1.5 ft tall. What should be the length of the curve? Assume S > L.
