Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (MATCOM), 2014, vol. 102, issue C, 144-152

Abstract: This paper presents a quick, simple and automatic approximation method that allows the alignments in a road (straights, curves or clothoids) and their respective curvature values to be identified from an approximation point set given by its UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) coordinates obtained from field data.
