    Lm = \frac{A \times S^2}{200 \times (H + S \times \tan(\beta))}
    Lm = 2S - \frac{200 \times (H + S \times \tan(\beta))}{A}

    The variables used in the formula are:

    A – Absolute difference between g2 and g1

    S – Sight Distance

    Lm – Minimum Curve Length

    H – Height of headlight

    β – Angle of Headlight Beam
