Master Geometric Data Extraction in OpenRoads - Horizontal, Vertical, & Centerline Alignment Guide

Welcome to this in-depth 43-minute tutorial that covers everything you need to know about Geometric Data Generation and Extraction in OpenRoads.

This video is perfect for engineers and designers who want to efficiently generate and extract critical geometric data for road design projects. Whether you're new to OpenRoads or looking to enhance your design workflow, this video will guide you step-by-step through the process of generating precise data for your highway projects. 🚧

What You’ll Learn:
Horizontal Alignment Data:
BOP: Beginning of Pavement
EOP: End of Pavement
PI: Point of Intersection
TS: Tangent to Spiral
Sc: Spiral Curve
PC: Point of Curvature
PT: Point of Tangency
CS: Curve to Spiral
ST: Spiral to Tangent
Deflection Angle: The angle between two tangents at the PI.
Curve Length: The length of the curve between the PC and PT.
Design Speed: The speed at which a road is designed to be safely navigated.
Curve Radius: The radius of the curve, determining its sharpness.
Superelevation: The banking of the roadway to help vehicles maintain speed through a curve.
Curve Direction: The orientation of the curve, whether it turns to the left or right.
Curve Widening: An increase in the width of the road on curves for safety.
Spiral Length: The length of the transition spiral between a tangent and a curve.
Vertical Alignment Data:
PVI: Point of Vertical Intersection
PVC: Point of Vertical Curvature
PVT: Point of Vertical Tangency
K-Value: A measure of the sharpness of a vertical curve.
Tangent Length: The length of the straight sections in the vertical alignment.
Curve Length: The length of the vertical curve.
Middle Ordinate: The maximum distance between the curve and the chord.
Centerline Data:
Centerline by 20 m intervals: Centerline data extracted at every 20 meters along the alignment.
Critical Points of Horizontal Alignment: Includes TS, Sc, PC, PT, CS, ST, which are key points in defining the geometry of the road’s path.
Critical Points of Vertical Alignment: Includes PVC, PVI, PVT, which are important points for defining the elevation profile of the road.
