definition
Description
The deflection tolerance for horizontal align-
ments. The tolerance value used for deter-
mining deflection errors. A deflection error
occurs when the beginning curve tangent of
an element does not match the ending tan-
gent of the previous element. If the current
error in deflection is greater than this value,
the error is reported.
Possibility to do a deflection check for the
vertical alignment.
The deflection tolerance for vertical align-
ments.
If this box is checked, then each time a new
alignment element has been entered, a con-
firmation message displays the end coordi-
nates for confirmation.
Description
Parameter defining the parabola.
K factor = Parameter p/100.
When this box is not checked, elements such
as straights, curves and parabolas define the
horizontal alignment.
When this box is checked, the horizontal
alignment is defined by Points of Intersec-
tion. PIs are tangent or geometrical points.
• Horizontal alignments are defined by the
coordinates of the PI and, for circular
curves, the curve radius.
• Horizontal transitions are defined by
coordinate of PI, the circular curve radius
plus tangent length in and tangent
length out.
