In railwayHigh-speed railways systems the alignment refers to the centre line of the railway track. The alignment of ordinary and high-speed railwaysHigh-speed railways is composed of vertical and horizontal elements. The verticalAlignmentvertical alignment consists of straight (tangent) railway grades and the circular or parabolic curves that connect these grades. The horizontal alignmentAlignmenthorizontal includes the straight (tangent) sections of the railway, the circular curvesCurvecircular curve and the transition curvesCurvetransition curves. The various aspects influencing alignment are discussed in this chapter.
