When friction is used to counteract centrifugal force, the side friction factor, f, between the tires and roadway is incorporated into the calculation for the superelevation angle. (the angle of road banking where friction is not needed)
tan@=[(Vt)^2-(f)(r)g]/[(r)g+f(Vt)^2]
(Vt)=vehicle velocity
(f)=friction coeff
(r)=radius of turn
(g)=gravity constant
If the road embankment is zero, set @=0 and solve for your friction (f)
