Visual Roads
®
software is a comprehensive design tool that enables you to
interactively create design models for transportation projects of all types. You can use it for
projects ranging from simple roads to complex highways and interchanges, as well as
railroads, airport runways, canals, and dikes. The software’s powerful capabilities are well
suited for complex jobs with intricate details and large data sets, and its unique fragment
technology makes it completely customizable to any level of detail. CAiCE Visual Roads is
easy to use and provides robust engineering and modeling capabilities for every phase of
the design process.
CAiCE Visual Roads comes with the CAiCE Project Manager, drawing import/export capability
(DWG, DGN, and others), basic drafting tools, and main graphics engine. It also includes
the following components:
•
Coordinate Geometry:
Full-featured COGO functions including points, alignments,
curves, spirals, intersections, cul-de-sacs, and many other functions.
•
Digital Terrain Modeling:
Complete DTM creation, editing, and display, including
draping of raster images. CAiCE Visual Roads software’s DTM methodology is optimized
for large data sets such as those encountered in transportation projects. Provides all-in-
one value package optimized for your surveying process.
Primary benefits include the following:
•
Adaptability to Client Design Standards:
Every design organization has unique,
detailed requirements for roadway design. You can customize CAiCE Visual Roads to
support detailed local design standards, such as alignment design constraints,
superelevation application, profile constraints, and cross-section details.
•
Interactive Design:
The creation of alignments, profiles, superelevation specifications,
and design models is completely interactive. The design utilities include built-in user-
definable design tools that automate meeting design requirements such as minimum
radius and spiral length, superelevation application, and sight distance on vertical
curves.
•
Design Modeling:
CAiCE Visual Roads software’s unique fragment technology provides
a customizable method of modeling standard roadway components required for both
simple and complex road design. The parametric nature of the technology provides
flexibility for various types of projects. You can easily modify fragments to adapt to any
design criteria.
