Where:
y = roadway elevation at distance x from the beginning of the vertical curve
x = distance from the beginning of the vertical curve
c = elevation of a point on the vertical curve
G1 = initial roadway grade in percent
G2 = final roadway grade in percent
Following the set-up of the vertical geometry, the final step is to define a typical section. The typical
section is entered by segments. Each segment is defined by a begin station, begin offset, begin
width, begin slope in percent, and by an end station, an end offset, an end width, an end slope in
percent. Begin and end offset are from CL. Begin and end slope are defined from CL, slope going
above horizontal is entered as positive, while slope going below horizontal is entered as negative.
These parameters are illustrated in figure 2.

The user enters the tie (offset) between the PGL and the roadway Centerline.
The user enters the tie (offset) between the PGL and the roadway Centerline.
The user enters the roadway typical section by providing the starting station and ending station of
each roadway segment of the typical. Each segment is also defined by a begin and end offset from
the centerline, a begin and end width, and a begin and end slope expressed in percent.
The user enters an edge of pavement transition within a typical section. The transition is defined
by stations and offsets. For example this could be a turn lane, or a lane line for which the elevations,
and the profile are seeking to be calculated. The user defines also the PGL Tie, the Profile, and
the Template. The transition profile will be calculated at each station interval increment sets by
the user.
The results of the analysis are displayed in tabular format. The elevations along the PGL, and the
user inputted transition line are displayed at the station interval specified.
The graphical display of the PGL, and transition profiles are displayed.
A total of eight command buttons are available.
The user enters a point station and offset along with a PGL Tie, Profile, Template, and the
point elevation is calculated.
A total of eight command buttons are available.
The user chooses a PGL Tie, a Profile, and a Template. The user also sets the begin station,
end station, and interval increment for the stations.
The results of the analysis are displayed in tabular format. Each segment presents within a cross
section are displayed by begin and end point consisting of an offset and elevation, and the
segment cross-slope.
