This record describes a spiral as part of the road’s reference line. For this type of spiral, the curvature
change between start and end of the element is linear.
In order to provide consistency between spiral evaluations of various implementations, users are
highly recommended to use identical algorithms, or, at least, algorithms with reasonable accuracy
within the applicable range (i.e. curvature, length of spiral etc.).
The theory of clothoids is described (for example) at
