Horizontal Alignment

Multi-plot Output Sheet

Overview

Operating as a standalone program in Microsoft Windows, RoadEng Civil Engineer allows you to interactively design a road. Vertical and horizontal alignments can be created and adjusted quickly. 

Five window types, Plan, Profile, Cross Section, Data and Multi-Plot (used for creating output sheets) are provided.   

By exploiting the power of Microsoft Windows, RoadEng allows the user to examine changes from different window types simultaneously. Changes made in one window are instantaneously reflected in adjoining windows. For example, an adjustment made to the alignment in the cross section window will immediately alter the mass haul graph, and the slope stake projections displayed in the profile, and plan windows.

Topography

Topographic information can be entered either directly from cross sections or extracted from a digital terrain model. 

Templates

The template editor allows you to assemble typical sections.  Highly flexible and easy to use, urban and rural templates can be quickly defined to account for ditches,   pavement, sub-base materials, varying lane widths, cut slopes, variable height fill slopes, curbs, sidewalks etc.  

Location templates are "intelligent" and can be configured to automatically reflect alignment, super-elevation and topographic conditions.  The result is less time spent creating and assigning templates.

Vertical and Horizontal Alignments

Creating a vertical or horizontal alignment is quick and easy. Working with the mouse in plan, profile or section, you simply point and click. Immediate feedback is provided, allowing you to monitor slope stake positions, grades and volumes as you design.

Similarly, vertical curves can be designed in profile by selecting PI points with the mouse and entering the 'k' value.

Culvert Editor

The culvert editor allows you to interactively position culverts account for size, length, skew and gradient.  Culvert reports are available.

Mass Haul

The mass haul window located below the profile allows you to quickly balance a road.  Change the alignment and the mass haul updates instantaneously.

Reporting Quantities

A configurable data reporting window is provided, allowing the user to display, print or output design information to a spread sheet. More than 100 items are available to choose from; including volumes, staking positions, cross sectional areas and mass haul.

Output

Profiles, plans and cross sections can be output to any Microsoft Windows supported printer or plotter in single page or multiple page formats.  Facilities to export drawings to CAD via DWG and DXF are also provided.

Plan/Profile Output sheets can be customized to meet required drawing standards.  Legends, north arrows, title-blocks, images, curve tables can be included.
