Planning these situations with the classical methods (offered by most of the programs for road design) demands a long time and a lot of resources, while the final result is not always precise. The commands introduced by ProSt X (combined with the flexibility the tool has always offered) allow a real and considerable reduction of the time you need to develop complex projects and let the designer take up the planning with the certainty of a quick and precise final outcome. To turn the work of days into the work of hours or even of minutes is possible today thanks to ProSt X. The innovative concepts X module introduces (such as multiple sections and the projection of alignment polylines on the profile), allow to carry out the project having constantly the graphic information concerning the other axes that make up the road intersection. | | | | | | ProSt X not only simplifies the study and the planning, but offers interactive and functional tools for a fast and precise accounting of sections presenting intersections, avoiding in this way the double or triple computing of volumes in adjoining sections. It is no longer necessary to carry out calculations by hand to determine the position and the intersection of grade lines belonging to other axes; it is no longer necessary to paste together the different sections of different axes to have the complete drawing of the intersection cross development; there is no longer uncertainty about the result of volume calculation due to the overlapping of section cuts and fills. Moreover, in mountain roads, with hairpin bends, ProSt X provides a peerless tool for the insertion of retaining walls and for the study of sideslopes. The road intersection can be solved also by building a 3D model of the crossroad; it is possible to build models complete with safety islands, canalisation islands, widening, gutters, sidewalks. | | | | | | Multiple sections One of the main functions introduced by X module is, with no doubt, the management of multiple sections. By multiple sections we mean the possibility of visualising, for each section, a section on its right and a section on its left. "Lateral" sections can belong to other axes but also to the same axis; just think how useful this function can be in case of hairpins, when in planning downhill sections you must know how the slopes of uphill sections are made. The lateral sections visualised serve as a reference for the main section, so as to study the possible cutting of the elements; in fact, seeing the shape and the position of the lateral section, it is possible to determine the position of the cut line, beyond which to cancel the elements which turn out to be placed over the other section. Section cutting is a fundamental operation in the development of complex projects, because it allows to calculate exactly the project areas and volumes, avoiding overlapping zones where both areas and volumes would be calculated twice; | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Road Intersections O | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
