Our bike path is about 30 m in length as illustrated here. The riding surface is 3 m wide, lying 1.5 m on each side of the centerline. From the edge of the driving surface, fill slopes extend downward at a slope of 2:1.

The vertical alignment (or profile) for the project is a simple 2% uphill slope. An assumed elevation of 30.50 is placed on the original ground at the Setup Point, and the road starts at elevation 31.1. This allows you to practice with all of the components of the "ROADPLUS" program. For the field work, we recommend a flat, open area about 25 m on a side.

The following pages contain illustrations and listings of all the data needed to run the example.

There are 3 easy steps to the example:

1.Use the "ROADDATA.EXE" program on your PC to enter the design information for the Hori- zontal Alignment, Vertical Alignment, and Templates.

A special naming convention identifies the type of file that each alignment and template are stored in. The first three letters in the file name tell "ROADPLUS" what is in the file and how to view it. The GSI extension is also required.

Horizontal Alignment: ALN?????.GSI

Vertical Alignment: PRF?????.GSI

Templates:CRS?????.GSI

In "ROADDATA.EXE", enter the following example

project data. Let’s call the project "EXAMPLE" and RP configure the units to m, 3 decimal places. Let’s name

the files "ALN_EX1.GSI", "PRF_EX1.GSI", and "CRS_EX1.GSI".
