  1. Roadway Intersection DesignIn GEOPAK Site Michael Gilham Bentley Civil

  2. Presentation Overview • What will we be looking at? • We will investigate areas of Roadway design that have traditionally been a challenge with GEOPAK Road tools. • At Grade Intersections. • Ramp exits • Gore Areas • Gore pond design

  3. Presentation Overview • Why? • User requests. • Data and concept for this presentation supplied by: Mark Lemieux HNTB

  4. Why use Site Modeler? • Amalgamates data from different sources into a single environment. • GEOPAK Survey • Chain and Profile Alignments • Cross Sections • Shapes • TIN files

  5. Why use Site Modeler? • Speed of Design! • Every design change is immediately visually displayed for the Designer. • The design is dynamic and modifiable. • Accuracy. • Points are densely and strategically created which provides the Designer with a more complete design.

  6. Where to start? • We need to import the known Roadway data into Site Modeler. • Existing Surface TIN. • Roadway alignments • Finished Surface TINs. • Specific plan graphics. • Edge of pavement • Edge of medians • etc…

  7. Data Creation Options Create a TIN file from Roadway Cross Sections. GEOPAK provides 2 options to create TIN files directly from the roadway XS’s. • XS Reports>DTM Input • XS Reports>DTM Prop 3D

  8. Data Creation Options • XS Reports>DTM Input Produces a DAT file of the Proposed surface.

  9. Data Creation Options • XS Reports>DTM Prop 3D Produces a DAT file of the combined Proposed and Existing surface.

  10. Data Creation Options 3D Modeling Tools > 3D Cross Sections.

  11. Data Creation Options 3D Modeling Tools > 3D Cross Sections. • Draws the combined existing and proposed surface XS into a 3D DGN file. • These can then be extracted to a DAT file and Triangulated using the DTM tools.

  12. Data Creation Options • Superelevation Tools > Shape to DTM Surface. Produces a DAT file of the Shape surfaces.

  13. Data Creation Options • Superelevation Tools > Shape to DTM Surface. Best Option!!!

  14. Data Creation Options • Superelevation Tools > Shape to DTM Surface. • Make Shapes wider than pavement surface. • Either create additional shapes (as shown) or

  15. Data Creation Options • Superelevation Tools > Shape to DTM Surface. • Make Shapes wider than pavement surface. • Either create additional shapes (as shown) or • Create a new set of shapes with larger offsets.

  16. Data Creation Options • Any of these DAT files can then be either imported directly into Site Modeler… • Project>Import>Data>DAT File • ..or triangulated and imported to Site Modeler. • Project>Import>Data>TIN File

  17. How to get the data into Modeler? Project>Import>Data>TIN • Import the Existing and Proposed TINs as Objects. Element>New/Edit>Alignments • Creates a Site Element from COGO Chain and Profile. Element>New/Edit>Drape • Create edge of pavement median elements by draping the MS graphic onto the corresponding TIN Object.

  18. What’s next? • Start Modeling! • After importing the known data, we will set about creating the unknown data. • At Grade Intersections. • Gore Area • Infield pond design

  19. What’s next? • Let’s go to the demo……

  20. The Intersection Site Modeler highlights a Design problem. The Profile is 0.4 feet above pavement edge elevation

  21. The Intersection • Site Model showing Intersection with original profile.

  22. The Intersection • Site Model showing Intersection with amended profile.

  23. The Intersection • There was a 0.8 foot difference in the profile elevation at the other intersecting road!

  24. The Intersection • Completed! • Ready to cut XS’s, create Plan view stakeout drawing or Export to COGO for survey stakeout.

  25. The Gore Area Site Modeler has highlighted a Shape problem.

  26. The Pond.
