THE GEOMETRIC DESIGN OF A ROAD BY MEANS OF A COMPUTER

PROGRAMMAPAKKET WEGENONTWERP MEETKUNDIGE OPBOUW VAN EEN WEG BIJ MIDDEL VAN EEN COMPUTER

THIS ARTICLE DESCRIBES A DESIGN METHOD AND A TECHNIQUE OF AUTOMATIC DRAWING FOR THE PLANNING OF A ROAD. THE GEOMETRIC ELEMENTS OF THE ROAD ARE DEFINED: AXIS, LONGITUDINAL AND TRANSVERSE PROFILES. THE BASIC PROGRAMS ARE SUPPLEMENTED BY ANCILLARY PROGRAMS DEALING WITH AXIS INTERSECTIONS, PEGGING OUT OF THE AXES AND VISIBILITY CONTROL. PART 2 OF THE ARTICLE CONCERNS THE MODEL OF THE MATERIAL TERRAIN AND PLOTTING OPERATIONS. PART 3 CONSIDERS THE SETTING UP OF A FILE AND CALCULATION PROCESSES. PART 4 IS DEVOTED TO THE AUTOMATIC DRAWING.
