chord (DCH) parameter, the radius of the curve can be calculated
as follows:
• Delta - the angle between the radii corresponding to the curve.
• Chord
- the length of the segment joining start and end points of a
curve.
• Tangent
- the length of the segment which touches the given
curve.
• Mid Ord (Middle Ordinate)
- the distance from the midpoint of a
chord to the midpoint of the corresponding curve.
• External
- the distance from the midpoint of the curve to the
intersection point of the tangents.
