Geometric design in transportation facilities Flair Your IB Carson Graham Secondary Date Instructor Ms Dai Word count Table of Contents Table of contents 2 Introduction The theorem Euler s totient theorem fermat 's little theorem Proving Fermat's little theorem Proving Euler's totient theorem Application Conclusion Introduction I had always had a interest in geometric design for that I have been seeing in different places so much for example in the designs of buildings highways and even art works and I often wonder why they look the way they are The one part that fascinates me the most is the geometric design in transportation facilities such as highways railroads and airport runways Even though the details and the standards of the design is quite different across different usages for example a landing area for aircraft is designed very differently than a parking lot as much difference as a plane to a minivan in all modes the goals of the geometric design is to gain the maximise amount of comfort safety and economy out of the design while still keeping the coast environmental impacts down as much as possible In this math IA I will be exploring the fundamentals of geometric design in transportation with a series of standards and examples from different modes
