Tangent Offset

The Tangent Offset method computes a

perpendicular offset length (Tangent

Offset) from the PC-PI line to the current
station and the distance on the PC-PI line

from the PC to the Tangent Offset

(Tangent Distance).

Chord Offset

The Chord Offset method computes a
perpendicular offset length from the PC-PT

line to the current station (Chord Offset),

the distance on the PC-PT line from the PC
to the chord offset (Chord Distance), the

distance from the PC to the current station

(Chord Length) and the deflection angle
from the PC-PT line to the PC-Station line.
