4. © 2009 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 4 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM Preliminary Design Two Corridors have been created –CL-278 (Main Roadway) –Reloc-2 278 (Side Road) CL-278 has Style Constraint for Widening Reloc-2 278 has Point Control for Right Turn Lane widening Both Corridors have Superelevation Defined

6. © 2009 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 6 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM Multi-Center Curve Command Creates both Horizontal and Vertical Curves based on two alignments One, Two or Three Center Curves can be created Vertical Curves are created that match the instantaneous longitudinal grade at PVC and PVT Vertical Geometry Options –Vertical Distance –Gradient –Surface (Useful when the cross slope varies ie. Superelevation) Always Review the Results and make adjustments if necessary

8. © 2009 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 8 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM Point Controls and Secondary Alignments Used to Modify the Behavior of Template Points Overrides Existing Point Constraints Priority can be used to resolve conflicting point controls Secondary Alignments control the direction of cross section processing

9. © 2009 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 9 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM Modeling the Side Road Assign Radius Return Alignments as Point Controls Increase the template drop interval at PC Generate Design Surface for Reloc-2 278 –Enable Add Transverse Features

10. © 2009 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 10 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM Modeling the Main Line Assign Radius Return Alignments as Point Controls for the main line Increase the template drop interval Add/Edit template drop for intersection

11. © 2009 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 11 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM Create the Finished Surface Create One Surface from Multiple Corridors Review the Results

12. © 2009 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 12 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM Other Techniques for Intersections Targeting Design Surface Features Parent/Child Components End Condition Exceptions Other Possible tools to consider –Corridor Clipping –Target Aliasing

13. © 2009 Bentley Systems, Incorporated 13 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM Skewed Intersections Change the active corridor Use Parent/Child Components and End Condition Exceptions for another intersection Create Surface for Side Roads Use transverse feature from Side Road surface as a point control for the main line Process and generate one surface from all three corridors
