Highway Interchanges: Construction Schedule and Traffic Planning Visualization
نویسنده
چکیده
Highway Interchange projects present particularly complex and changing geometric configurations. Such configurations are hard to visualize and understand, and associated management, construction decisions, and traffic control strategies are difficult to optimize and communicate. This paper presents a computerbased system, which utilizes 3D and 4D CAD technology in order to: facilitate the communication of information regarding construction schedule and traffic control measures to all interested parties; allow consultants and contractor personnel to make better decisions with respect to a wide variety of issues. This new system was successfully employed during the planning and construction phases of a section of the 635/75 Interchange project in Dallas to visually display alternative schedule and traffic control strategies during the construction of the project.

Highway planning is a process wherein a highway network con sidered adequate to meet both the present and future traffic demands of an auto-oriented, ever-growing populace is visualized. It is also the process in which a procedure designed to implement the plan should be formulated. The first step in the planning process is the determination of high way needs. The elimination of these needs r...
