Where the guideway runs close to buildings or natural barriers, through buildings, or under the ground, clearance for the guideway envelope must accommodate the vehicle’s lateral and vertical motions. Factors such as curve radius, superelevation, vehicle overhang and chording must be considered when determining the clearance envelope on curves.
