Exercise 2: Model the Roadway Corridor Course Description This set contains exercises to model the roadway corridor using an existing 2 lane urban typical section with curb and cutter and sidewalk. The pavement width will be controlled by the edge of pavement geometry created in a previous exercise. Skills Taught Create Corridor Understand and use Design Stages Display and review cross sections Define a Point Control for the intersection 8
Model Corridor Using an Existing Template In this exercise, we will select a template from the template library and apply it to the North Street horizontal and vertical alignments to create the roadway corridor. 1. If you haven t done so already, open the North St.-Corridor-Imperial.dgn [North St.-Corridor-Metric.dgn] file 2. Select the Element Selection tool. 3. In View 1, select the North St. centerline geometry and hover until the context sensitive menu appears. 9
4. Select the Create Corridor tool. Following the heads up prompting: a. Locate Profile - Reset For Active Profile: Click Reset mouse button b. Corridor Name: Type North St.and click Data mouse button to accept. c. Template: Hold down the ALT key and press the down arrow key to open the Pick Template window. Browse to and select the Urban > 2 Lane Urban Curb and Gutter with Sidewalk template. Click OK. Click Data mouse button to accept template d. Start Station: Type 11+50 [1+045] and press the Enter key, then click Data mouse button to accept Note: Starting at this station to leave room for intersection civil cell. e. End Station: Press ALT key to lock to the end of the alignment, then click Data mouse button to accept. f. Interval: Type 10 [3] and click Data mouse button to accept. g. Minimum Transition Before Drop: Type 0 and click Data mouse button to accept. h. Minimum Transition After Drop: Type 0 and click Data mouse button to accept. The corridor model is displayed. The corridor model is built in a 3D model in the active DGN file. The 3D model is automatically referenced into the 2d model you are currently using. For now, we will turn off the display of the 3D model reference. 10
9. Turn off display of 3D model reference. a. Select the References tool. b. Select the North St. file. Notice the Default-3D name in the Model column. c. Clear the Display setting by either clearing the check mark in the display column or selecting the icon at the bottom of the window. d. Close the References window. Notice that the corridor model is chorded around the curve. Corridor Models have a Design Stage property that affects how the corridor is modeled. The interval specified when the corridor is created defines the distance between drop points where the corridor is modeled. The Design Stage property applies a multiplier to the interval. For example, a Preliminary design stage has a multiplier of 10. So instead of our model being processed every 10 [3m] as we specified, it is modeled every 100 [30m].This is what causes the chording.early in a project using the Preliminary design stage causes the corridor to process faster and typically provides sufficient detail. As the project progresses changing to the design or final design stage results in a more accurate model. 5. Change the corridor to use the 2-Design design stage. a. Select the Element Selection tool. b. Select the corridor boundary element. The corridor boundary is the graphical shape that represents the extents of the roadway model. Sometimes it is easiest to select the corridor boundary by one of the lines that extends perpendicular to the border. c. Hover over the selected corridor boundary and click the Properties button on the context menu. d. Change the Design Stage to 2 Design. The corridor model updates. Notice that the chording is no longer present because the interval is now closer together. The 2-Design design state has an interval multiplier of 2 so the corridor is being modeled every 20 [6m]. 11
View Corridor Cross Sections 1. Select the Element Selection tool. 2. Select the corridor border. Sometimes it is easiest to select the corridor border by one of the lines that extends perpendicular to the border. 3. Select the Open Cross Section Model tool. 4. Open View 5 by selecting the 5 button at the bottom of the screen. There is nothing special about view 5, you can use any of the eight views. 5. Click inside view 5. 6. Select the down arrow next to View Properties at the top of the window. 7. Set the Vertical Exaggeration to 5. 8. Click the left and right arrow icons at the top of the window to scroll through the cross sections. A light blue line in the plan view indicates the location of the cross section currently being displayed. 9. Close the cross section view. 12
Adjust the Corridor Model to Meet and Match the Existing Turn Lane Insert an additional template drop through the intersection, edit the components and add a point control for the matching edge of pavement The current template is a fixed width and cross slope. In this exercise, we will need to adjust the cross slope to meet and match the existing pavement through the turn lane section of the corridor. We will add an additional template drop and remove the curb, sidewalk, and end conditions through the intersection as well as control the elevation of the edge of pavement to match the existing pavement. By using a point control, the edge of pavement template point can be aligned with the geometry element horizontally and vertically. In the following image, the blue edge of pavement, yellow curb, and purple sidewalk graphics generated from the corridor can be seen cutting through the turnout section. 1. Expand the Corridor Modeling task menu and select the Copy Template Drop tool. 2. In View 1, follow the heads-up prompts and select the template drop graphic along the corridor. 3. Continuing to follow the heads up prompting... d. Start Station: Type 13+50 [1+107] and press the Enter key, then click Data mouse button to accept e. End Station: Type 17+50 [1+229] and press the Enter key, then click Data mouse button to accept 13
Now, we will edit the additional template drop through the intersection area. We have the ability to edit the actual template used in the corridor with out impacting the original template in the template library. This is an important technique to use when modeling real-world scenarios where roadway conditions may vary along the corridor. In our scenario, we will remove the curb\gutter, sidewalk and end conditions from the template through the intersection. 6. Select the new template drop graphic that we created in the previous step. On the context menu, select the Edit Template Drop tool. 7. The Editing Roadway Template Drop window opens. This allows us to edit the template directly in the corridor for project-specific adjustments. 8. Right click anywhere in the open space within the template window. 9. From the menu, select Delete Components. 14
10. Data point (Left Click) in the screen and draw a line through the components you wish to delete. 11. The components are removed from the template. TIP: If a component is mistakenly deleted, you can UNDO the command by keying in CTRL + Z on the keyboard. 12. Click OK in the upper right corner. 15
13. The corridor is updated. We ve removed the curb and gutter, sidewalk, and end conditions from the corridor through the intersection. Now, we have to consider the vertical aspect of matching the new pavement to the existing pavement through the intersection and turn lane. Using OpenRoads, we can cut a profile along any element within the model, project 3D elements onto the profile, and create or adjust the vertical properties of the profiled element. We need to profile the EOP feature and create a vertical alignment to control the Edge of Pavement feature to match the existing pavement through the intersection. 1. Click the Element Selection tool in the Tasks menu. The Element Selection tool is used to pick elements so they can be edited or manipulated with other commands. 2. Set the Element Selection tool to the individual mode by selecting the Individual and New icons in the Tool Settings window. 16
3. Hover the cursor over the Edge of Pavement feature to profile. As you hover over the feature, you ll notice that an informational box is displayed. The correct feature is named RdEOP. TIP: Since we ran the Corridor Modeler first, we actually have 2 features in the model along the turn lane area. Therefore, you may have to right click to cycle to the proper feature. While hovering over the element, right click (reset) to cycle the selection to the next feature under the cursor, then left click (data point) to select the correct element. 4. Open the profile model a. On the context menu that opens, select the Open Profile Model tool. b. Open an additional view or click into an existing open view to place the profile model. 3. Project the profile of the modeled roadway EOP(LT_EOP) onto the profile model for the control feature (RdEOP). a. Expand the Vertical Geometry toolbox in the Tasks menu b. Select the Project Profile to Element tool On the Place Projected Profile menu, name the profile as Typical EOP and set the element template to 3D Linear > Road_EdgeOfPavement. Follow the heads-up prompts Select the Element to Project: select the edge of pavement feature from the corridor model named LT_EOP. Select Plan Element to Project On To: select the control feature we created named RdEOP. The profile of the modeled feature LT_EOP is displayed in the open profile window. 17
Now we will create a vertical alignment to control how the edge of pavement within the corridor transitions to match the pavement along the turnout area. 3. Create the vertical elements that will control the edge of pavement d. The Vertical Geometry tools are available directly within the profile window. Click on the Profile Line Between Points tool. On the Profile Line Between Points menu, name the profile as Match EOP and set the element template to 3D Linear > Profile_EdgeOfPavement_L. NOTE: Civil Accudraw is a tool bar useful in the precise definition of elements in civil and transportation workflows. The tool bar can be turned on by expanding the General Geometry task menu and clicking the Activate Civil Accudraw button. Toggle Civil Accudraw on the Civil Accudraw tool bar Follow the heads-up prompts to enter the station and elevation information below: VPOB VPI #1 VPI #2 Slope: n/a 1.50% 0.21% Station: 0+00 [0] 0+60 [25] 3+95 [78.93] Z: 199.71 [60.78] 200.61 [61.15] 201.3 [61.27] 18
HINT: Place the 2 segments independently and join them together using the Profile Complex By Elements tool. Name the profile Match EOP and set the element template to 3D Linear > Profile_EdgeOfPavement_L. Set the profile as the active profile. e. Select the Element Selection tool. f. Select the newly created geometry element and hover until the context menu appears. g. Select the Set Active Profile tool. 19
Create a Corridor Point Control After creating the vertical control alignment, we will update the corridor model so that the LT_EOP template point follows the matching control profile through the intersection. 1. Select the Element Selection tool. 2. In View 1, select the corridor border. Sometimes it is easiest to select the corridor border by one of the lines that extends perpendicular to the border. 3. Select the Corridor Objects tool. 4. Select Point Control from the Corridor Objects window. 20
5. Select the Add New tool. Following the heads up prompting... a. Start Station: 13+50 [1+107] b. End Station: 17+50 [1+229] c. Control Description: L_EOP d. Point: LT_EOP This is the name of the point in the template that will be tied to the geometry element. It might be easiest to select this point name from the tool settings dialog instead of the heads up interface. e. Mode: Vertical f. Control Type: Linear Geometry g. Locate Plan or Profile Element: select the cyan vertical control alignment in the profile view. h. Use Secondary Alignment: No 21
i. Priority: 1 j. Start Horizontal Offset: 0 k. Stop Horizontal Offset: 0 The Point Control is listed in the Corridor Object window and the model is reprocessed. Notice the Corridor EOP feature now follows the vertical control we created previously. 12. Close the Corridor Objects window. 13. Use the Open Cross Section Model tool to review the cross sections again and observe the cross slope changes through the intersection. 14. To review a specific cross section along the corridor, Right Click in the cross section model window. Then select Locate Station Via Datapoint and follow the heads up prompts. 22

Select the new Template Drop boundary in the intersection and hover until the context menu appears. b. Select the Edit Template Drop tool. The template editor window appears showing the template being used at this template drop location (through the intersection). We need to delete the curb, sidewalk, and side slope components on the left side of the template. c. Right click in the template editor window and select Delete Components. d. Position the cursor near the left edge of the editing window and press and hold the data (left) mouse button. e. Move the cursor around drawing a white line. Any element that the white line touches is deleted when you release the data button. 37
f. Repeat as necessary to delete all of the components left of the edge of pavement. When complete, the template should look like the following image. g. Click OK. The South Blvd. corridor model is recalculated with the new template through the intersection area. 38
Exercise 5: Review and Enhance the Complete Model The final model produced by OpenRoads can serve many purposes. These include design review, constructibility assessments, machine control, and visualization. In the following exercises we will look at utilizing the model for practical applications beyond the typical plan production work flows. 1. Open the North St file where you created the intersection and corridor. 2. Review the finished model in View 2. The view should still be open because you used the Save Settings command before exiting the file. 3. Change the Display Style to Smooth to see the rendering without the triangles. 4. Also, levels can be turned off to remove the linear elements from the model view. 39
