2.2.2 Switch arc radius calculation by the distance from the
intersection point
If svc = 3 mode (vsd = d is given) is considered and it is important to know the switch arc
radius r to check if end velocity and vector acceleration satisfy (1-1). If d – distance from the
point (X
i
,Y
i
) to the point (X
first
,Y
first
) is given, then it can be useful to re-calculate r as a
function of parameters d and R (we have to know r to check condition 1-1).
Consider three possible cases of a circle and switch arc positions relative to the line.
2.2.2.1 Initial circle center and switch arc center belong to the
same half-plane
2.2.2.1.1 Line continues outside the circle (Figure 2-17)
As in case of the switch arc center coordinates calculation we drop a perpendicular from the
circle center
(X
c
,Y
c
)
on the line and get a projection point
(X
p
,Y
p
).
The length of the
