Calculate the ideal banking angle for a curve on a road or track so that no friction is needed to maintain circular motion. This calculator uses the speed and radius of the turn to determine the optimal angle.
Enter your values below
Speed of the vehicle through the curve
Radius of the circular curve
Default is 9.81 m/s²
How this calculator works
The tangent of the banking angle equals velocity squared divided by the product of the curve radius and gravitational acceleration.
