Abstract
In this paper, we define the curve at a constant distance from the edge of regression on a curve r(s) with arc length parameter s in Galilean 3-space. Here, d is a non-isotropic or isotropic vector defined as a vector tightly fastened to Frenet trihedron of the curve r(s) in 3-dimensional Galilean space. We build the Frenet frame of the constructed curve with respect to two types of the vector d and we indicate the properties related to the curvatures of the curve . Also, for the curve , we give the conditions to be a circular helix. Furthermore, we discuss ruled surfaces of type A generated via the curve and the vector D which is defined as tangent of the curve in 3-dimensional Galilean space. The constructed ruled surfaces also appear in two ways. The first is constructed with the curve and the non-isotropic vector D. The second is formed by the curve and the non-isotropic vector D. We calculate the distribution parameters of the constructed ruled surfaces and we show that the ruled surfaces are developable. Finally, we provide examples and visuals to back up our research.Keywords

One of the important research areas in differential geometry is the theory of curves examined in various spaces. In particular, it has been examined in a lot of papers and remarkable results have been obtained in the 3-dimensional Galilean space [4–10].
The notion of the curves at a constant distance from the edge of regression has been introduced by Vogler. He has studied the curves traced on a torse at a constant distance from its edge of regression. The torse of a space curve in
This subject has been studied in Euclidean 3-space since the 1970s, and it is a method that generates a new curve from the curve through the Frenet frame of the curve. For the first time, we will discuss this issue in 3-dimensional Galilean space. While the curve is produced by using the unit vector which is defined by the Frenet frame apparatus of a curve in Euclidean 3-space, we will have produced the curve by considering two situations in the Galilean 3-space. This is because, in Galilean space, vectors are treated in two ways, isotropic and non-isotropic.
In this paper, we first recall the essential preliminaries on the Galilean 3-space. Then, we define curves in the Galilean 3-space and give the curvature properties of these curves. In the main part of our study, we define a curve noted by
