Vertical Segments

Vertical Segments are used in the design of the longitudinal section (profile) of the route between the two stops determined in the plan. While defining Vertical Segments; "Alignment and Vertical Curve" elements of the route in the project should be created. These are created with the longitudinal slope and red elevation parameters in different Mils that you will enter as inputs. The mil Station where the stops are located, the longitudinal slope Grade and the red elevation value are defined by Elevation parameters. In cases where there is a difference in longitudinal slope between two consecutive stops, the system connects the two points parabolic.

Vertical alignment can be specified by defining one or more Elevation Point objects along the horizontal line.

Example:

The design of a longitudinal section of the route is facilitated by the use of Vertical Segments. These section are created by defining the alignment and vertical curve elements of the route in the project, based on the longitudinal slope and elevation values entered as inputs at different miles along the route. The Elevation parameters define the mile Station of the stops, the longitudinal slope grade, and the elevation value. If there is a difference in the longitudinal slope between two consecutive stops, the system connects the two points with a parabolic curve. In the example given, three different stops were defined along the designed longitudinal section and the necessary values for each stop were entered. Since the elevations at stops A and B are equal and those at stops B and C are different, the distance between these two stops is automatically connected with a parabolic curve.
