Preparing for the example, continued
Our bike path is about 30 m in length
as illustrated here. The riding surface
is 3 m wide, lying 1.5 m on each side
of the centerline. From the edge of
the riding surface, fill slopes extend
downward at a slope of 2:1.
The vertical alignment (or profile) for
the project is a simple 2% uphill
slope. An assumed elevation of 30.50
is placed on the original ground at the
Setup Point, and the road starts at
elevation 31.1. This allows you to
practice with all of the components of
the "ROADPLUS" program. For the
field work, we recommend a flat,
open area about 25 m on a side.
The following pages contain
illustrations and listings of all the data
needed to run the example.
There are 3 easy steps to the
example:
1. Use the "RoadEd" program on
your PC, or Road+ File Editor on
your TPS1100 Professional Series
Instrument, to enter the design
information for the Horizontal
Alignment, Vertical Alignment, and
Templates.
A special naming convention
identifies the type of file that each
alignment and template are stored
in. The first three letters in the file
name tell "ROADPLUS" what is in
the file and how to view it. The GSI
extension is also required.
Horizontal
Alignment:
ALN?????.GSI
Vertical
Alignment:
PRF?????.GSI
Templates: CRS?????.GSI
In "RoadEd", enter the following
example project data. Let’s call the
project "EXAMPLE" and configure
the units to m, 3 decimal places.
Let’s name the files "ALN_EX1.GSI",
"PRF_EX1.GSI", and
"CRS_EX1.GSI".
