  "definition": "The elevation of the outer rail on a curved section of railway track relative to the inner rail. This superelevation counteracts the centrifugal force acting on a train as it negotiates a curve, allowing for higher speeds and reducing wear on the rails and wheels. The degree of banking is calculated based on the curve radius and design speed.",
