USING THE MOSS ROAD-DESIGN PROGRAM IN MRD WA
MOSS is a computer program for road design which has been developed in the United Kingdom and is currently being marketed in Australia. The Main Roads Department, Western Australia (MRD WA) acquired the program in 1983 to supplement its own programs. An outline is presented and MRD WA experience with this program covering the need for integration with survey processes, the suitability of the program for particular classes of road design, and the use of both printed and plotted output as construction documents. Some thoughts are presented on the integration of MOSS with other road-design programs and the long term possibilities of a comprehensive CADAD system for computer aided design and drafting.
