• OpenRoads sight visibility check methods

    Hi, I struggle with sight visibility checks. By default we can use several methods to calculate sight distance (Italian, AASHTO, Australian and French). These methods are great because ORD can read the grade and speed from the alignment and we can do…
  • Intersection Sight Visibility

    What is the best way to go about doing Sight Visibility for an Intersection? Preferably with steps as I am fairly new to ORD. Thank you!
  • ConceptStation to OpenRoads Designer - Sight Visibility Tools (Workflow)

    Hey there, I am trying to understand the workflow required to use the Sight Visibility Tools in OpenRoad Designer to evaluate sight distance for a design developed in ConceptStation and then exported to ORD. I have developed a design in ConceptStation…
  • [ORD R4] Parabola Sight Distance

    Hi, does anyone know how ORD calculates Parabola's Sight Distance?. It's one of the fields which we can annotate on profile curves but it looks like it doesn't do it as in earlier versions (SS4 and below). Can we set some parameters for this like eye…
  • Stopping Sight Distance Check in new Connect Edition

    Are there any native tools in Connect Edition, similar to MX Road, to check stopping sight distance along an alignment, specifying object alignment, eye alignment, comparing with a surface, and report it to a text file as: Station | Distance Achieved…
  • [MX SS3] Vertical sight distance

    Hello, Does anyone know if it is possible to check a sight distance on vertical curve for varying (for different design speed) height of source (eye) and target (obstacle)? Regards Aleksander Zamorski
  • let rectangular shape follow path

    Hi I'd like to be able to draw a path (2D) - both ends of a rectangular shape must follow that path (to simulate the transport of some heavy equipment along the path, to see how much space the transportation takes op when turning corners...) …
  • Re: InRoads vertical design calculator

    Brian, Settings such as eye height and object height are hard-coded based upon the applicable AASHTO standard, whether it is imperial or metric and whether it is a passing or stopping sight condition. If the option to save these values…
  • InRoads v8i SS2 - Review Vertical Alignment - Stopping and Headlight Sight Distances not always showing

    When reviewing Vertical Alignments, Stopping and Headlight Sight Distances are not always shown in the report. It appears that they only show when the entrance and exit grades are in the opposite direction (G1="+" and G2="-", or vice versa). If the two…
