Free Transportation PE Calculators

Browser-based calculators for FE Civil and PE Civil Transportation study — no account, no download.

Check your hand calculations against these browser-based tools — no account, no download. Each one shows the governing equation so you can see exactly what it is doing. Four tools serve the geometric-design, traffic and traffic-control areas directly; two drainage tools serve PE Area 10 (Drainage), where the exam reaches for runoff and open-channel flow.

⚡ Studying for the PE Transportation exam?

Pair each calculator with its knowledge-area page: the theory, the worked example and the traps sit alongside the tool, and the study plan puts the ten areas in order.

Calculator

Stopping Sight Distance

Perception–reaction distance plus braking distance, with grade, from design speed, reaction time and friction.

Calculator

Superelevation

Required rate of superelevation e from design speed, curve radius and side friction factor.

Calculator

Taper Length

Merging taper length for temporary traffic control, with the channelizing-device count on the taper.

Calculator

Peak Hour Factor

PHF and the peak flow rate from the hourly volume and the peak 15-minute count.

Calculator · Drainage

Manning's Equation

Open-channel discharge for rectangular, trapezoidal, and full circular sections — SI and US units. Serves PE Area 10 (Drainage).

Calculator · Drainage

Rational Method Runoff

Peak runoff rate from runoff coefficient, rainfall intensity, and drainage area. Serves PE Area 10 (Drainage).
