Ball curve； curve design； shape parameter Abstract. Ball curve is found similar to Bézier curve，also it has a good property of shape preserving，and in some respects，it has better properties than the Bézier curve. Therefore, In the shape design，Ball curve is paid more and more attention, it has a wide application. By introducing the concept of weights in NURBS curve into a blending technique, the paper extends the representation of the cubic Ball curve. The generalized cubic Ball curve is denoted as α extension cubic Ball curve, whose shape-control capability is shown to be much better than that of Ball curve. The representation and properties of the extension curve are studied. The curve is easy and intuitive to reshape by varying the parameters; so it is useful in some applications of CAD/CAM.

Besides inheriting the properties of classical Bézier curves of degreen, the correspondingλ-Bézier curves have a good performance on adjusting their shapes by changing shape control parameter. Specially, in the case where the shape control parameter equals zero, theλ-Bézier curves degenerate to the classical Bézier curves. In this paper, the shape modification ofλ-Bézier curves by constrained optimization of position and tangent vector is investigated. The definition and properties ofλ-Bézier curves are given in detail, and the shape modification is implemented by optimizing perturbations of control points. At the same time, the explicit formulas of modifying control points and shape parameter are obtained by Lagrange multiplier method. Using this algorithm,λ-Bézier curves are modified to satisfy the specified constraints of position and tangent vector, meanwhile the shape-preserving property is still retained. In order to illustrate its ability on adjusting the shape ofλ-Bézier curves, some curve design applications are discussed, which show that the proposed method is effective and easy to implement.

The conception, development, and adoption of early AASHO highway design criteria are documented. Examining the early efforts states used to select a design vehicle and develop horizontal curve design criteria illustrates why AASHO’s leadership was necessary. AASHO’s slow and somewhat haphazard criteria development, and the disparity from state to state, demonstrated the need for a national consensus in highway design parameters. AASHO’s role in providing these criteria is outlined through its initial development of policy booklets, followed by its 1954 publication of the landmark Blue Book. The processes by which nine states adopted the AASHO guidance are briefly reviewed. In several cases, the AASHO policy was embraced immediately, and in others it was accepted slowly as states clung to their independent design processes and only gradually updated their design criteria. A few simple conclusions are drawn about the development and adoption process, particularly as it may relate to tomorrow’s highway design criteria.
