INTERACTIVE GRAPHICS AIDED DESIGN SYSTEM--SUMMARY OF GENERAL SYSTEM DESIGN
This is the second of three interim reports to be prepared on a four-year study to develop an Interactive Graphics Aided Design System. It is a summary of the General Design Report for the Interactive Graphics Aided Design System being developed. The report gives, in addition to a summary of the general design. A discussion some of the philosophies used in designing the system. The overall objective for the study is the development of a roadway design system utilizing graphics cathode ray tubes as an interface between the designer and the computer with emphasis on graphics input and output. The development is to use as a base existing engineering design systems and specifically the Roadway Design System (RDS) developed by the Texas State Department of Highways and Public Transportation. In Addition to the engineering design systems, the Interactive Graphics Aided Design System will utilize the digital geographic data base produced by the Texas Automated Mapping System for the base survey information.
