Road Plus

Introduction

Alignment Definition

Data Files

This manual describes the "ROADPLUS" program of the TPS SYSTEM 1000 theodolite series.

The program allows for the stakeout of roads using the typical offset method of construction staking. In addition the program supports station equations, cross section assignment by station, cross section definition, cross section interpolation, superelevation, widening and slope staking/catch points.

An alignment consists of the three basic components which are horizontal alignment, vertical alignment and cross-section template. "ROADPLUS" reads the elements of each of these components from data files that are in GSI file format. In addition, a file can be created for entering cross-section stations for specific locations such as points needed for the staking of superelevation points. If station equations are needed, "ROADPLUS" will read a file created for station equations and apply the appropriate corrections.

Each of the data files "ROADPLUS" reads contain the necessary information specific to the component being defined. The files have unique identifiers and must be in the GSI file format:
