MOSS: AN INTERACTIVE, THREE DIMENSIONAL MODELING SYSTEM EVALUATION. FINAL REPORT

This report covers an evaluation of a 3-D computer modeling system, MOSS (Modeling Of Survey Strings), a program developed in the United Kingdom for site design. This evaluation concentrated only on roadway applications. The software was installed on a VAX 11/780 located in the main office of the Colorado Department of Highways, 4201 East Arkansas, in May 1985. A committee of engineers then evaluated an assortment of design and survey applications. Results of the evaluation proved to be favorable. Only minor program deficiencies were noted as related to the specialized nature of certain CDOH design practices.
