Sight Distances
Required Sight Distances
- Calculation of required sight distances (road) of the categories A and B, according to the German RAL guidelines, 2012 edition
- Determination of sight cross-sections of the required sight distances to check the relevant field of view, display of the associated intersection points in all cross-sections
Actual Sight Distances
- Actual sight distance calculation according to a vertical alignment-based 2D method
- Actual sight distance calculation according to the 3D the state-of-the-art „sight cone method“
- Any visibility obstructions, e.g. crash barriers, vegetation or embankments are taken into account. The 3D analysis is based on the „sight cone method“
Convenient File Management
- The parameters are stored permanently in the CARD/1 file management system and can be retrieved at any time
- Automatic recalculation ensures that the sight distances are always up to date. Each time a route design is modified, a complete recalculation of the sight distances is run
