CAiCE Visual Roads 10

CAiCE™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.

•Earthwork and Volume Computation: Powerful yet easy-to-use earthwork

computation capabilities enable you to classify and compute volumes for different

material types.

•Scalability and VBA Customization: To meet the needs of small businesses and large

organizations, CAiCE Visual Roads can be customized to meet your standards for coding,

plans production, operations, and CAD.

CAiCE Visual Roads Features and Benefits

Feature Function Benefit

Fragments A fragment is a user-definable macro that

either inserts surfaces into the cross-section file

at a station or performs an intermediate part of

the process of inserting surfaces. You can use

fragments to analyze the surfaces in a cross-

section file to produce reports, such as a milling

and pavement overlay report for a contractor.

Each fragment can have user-defined input

parameters that determine their dimensions

and behavior in particular situations.

Fragments respond flexibly, based on existing

conditions and design parameters. They can be

customized to match your organization’s

specific components. Setting the slope criteria

enables fragments to respond to specific

conditions and automatically blend into your

design.

Using fragments, you can

assemble a typical section

model as a series of connected,

standard, predefined roadway

components. This provides an

easy way to design a roadway

by plugging in ready-made

components such as raised or

depressed medians, travel

lanes, shoulders, ditches, catch

slopes, berms, and benches.

This technology saves time and

simplifies roadway design. It

also provides interactive,

component-based modeling for

easy adaptation to changes in

conditions (profile grade, width,

cut and fill, superelevation).

Fragment technology also

enables you to develop design

models interactively. Rather

than repeatedly running a batch

process, analyzing the results,

and tweaking the input, you can

interactively develop a typical

cross-section design at one

station, save it as a template

that can be applied to other

stations, move to different

stations to graphically modify

the results, and then save the

entire job as a design file that

you can rerun as needed.

DTM modeling

and viewing

Powerful and fast DTM algorithms mean your

systems perform well even with large DTMs.

DTM features include the following:

•Ability to easily handle large data sets such

as USGS DEM (digital elevation models)

•Ability to drape single or multiple USGS

7.5-minute quad maps onto a DTM surface

model
