2. Approach and departure angles - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approach_and_departure_angles

   Approach angle is the maximum angle of a ramp onto which a vehicle can climb from a horizontal plane without interference. [ 1 ] It is defined as the angle between the ground and the line drawn between the front tire and the lowest-hanging part of the vehicle at the front overhang .

3. Breakover angle - Wikipedia

   β° = Breakover angle; C = Underside of chassis; W = Wheel; G = Ground; M = Midpoint of wheelbase Example of a vehicle at a significant breakover angle.. Breakover angle or rampover angle is the maximum possible supplementary angle (usually expressed in degrees) that a vehicle, with at least one forward wheel and one rear wheel, can drive over without the apex of that angle touching any point ...

   As early as the late 1950s, the Grace Memorial Bridge had been deemed functionally obsolete, with its two 10-foot (3.0 m) lanes built for Ford Model As and its poorly designed ramps that went up to six percent. A new bridge was to be built to replace the Grace bridge.

5. Clearance (civil engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearance_(civil_engineering)

   In civil engineering, clearance refers to the difference between the loading gauge and the structure gauge in the case of railroad cars or trams, or the difference between the size of any vehicle and the width/height of doors, the width/height of an overpass or the diameter of a tunnel as well as the air draft under a bridge, the width of a lock or diameter of a tunnel in the case of watercraft.

6. Overhang (vehicles) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhang_(vehicles)

   Along with clearance, length of overhangs affects the approach and departure angles, which measure the vehicle's ability to overcome steep obstacles and rough terrain.The longer the front overhang, the smaller is the approach angle, and thus lesser the car's ability to climb or descend steep ramps without damaging the front bumpers.
