This article applies to:
- RoadEng Civil
- Softree Optimal
We presented a simplified approach to designing resource roads using LiDAR data, focused on:
00:00 Introduction
06:57 LiDAR Data (DEM) Import and Thinning
09:57 LiDAR for Flatland Road Design - Discussion
13:54 Hydrology Tools: Streams & Ponds
16:21 Path Explorer: Initial Alignment
22:34 Location Module - New Project
25:17 Creating a Horizontal Alignment with Curves (Polyine to Alignment)
26:06 Creating a Vertical Alignment (Vertical Optimization)
28:00 Adding Culverts
29:45 Creating Construction Documentation (Multi Plot)
32:20 Q & A
This approach applies to various resource road applications, including forestry roads, mining roads (both access and haul), wind farm roads, and more.
