Highway Alignment Designer Skill

Purpose

The Highway Alignment Designer Skill designs horizontal and vertical highway alignments including curves, superelevation, and sight distance per AASHTO Green Book standards.

Capabilities

  • Horizontal curve design (simple, compound, reverse, spiral)
  • Vertical curve design (crest, sag)
  • Superelevation calculation
  • Sight distance analysis
  • Cross-section template generation
  • AASHTO Green Book compliance checking
  • Design exception documentation
  • Corridor modeling support

Usage Guidelines

When to Use

  • Designing new roadways
  • Evaluating existing alignments
  • Checking sight distances
  • Developing superelevation

Prerequisites

  • Design speed established
  • Terrain classification known
  • Design criteria selected
  • Survey data available

Best Practices

  • Coordinate H and V alignment
  • Verify sight distances
  • Consider driver expectations
  • Document any exceptions
