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
