This document describes the format of the Road Network export file. Each export file is stored as a dBase file (.dbf). As a result, this document
assumes that the reader has a basic understanding of the dbf file format, and dBase data types. Because export files are stored in dBase format,
they can be created/edited/viewed using a wide range of utilities including database tools such as Microsoft Access, and spreadsheets such as
Microsoft Excel.
A Road Network export file consists of one record for each Section in the road network represented by the file. Each record consists of 159 fields,
with one field for each possible Section parameter. The table below lists all 159 fields in the export file. The fields are listed in the order in which
they appear in the file. The following details are given for each field:
Please note that not all fields are required for every Section. Some fields are specific to only one surface type. Others are specific to 2 or all
surface classes. The following symbols are used in the table to represent which surface class(es) each field applies to:
In those cases where a particular field does not apply to the current section (because of surface class), the field is set to 0. Please note that certain
numeric fields (e.g. PAVE_TYPE ) are used to store enumerated values. Where this is the case, a reference is given in the Comments column to
the section at the end of this document which lists the corresponding enumerated values. For a fuller description of all the parameters stored in the
various fields, please refer to the relevant parts of Volume 4.
Please note: when viewing an export file in Excel, each Section record will be displayed on a separate row of the worksheet, each column will
represent a particular field. The fields will be displayed in the order shown below. When creating an export file from scratch in Excel, ensure that
the first row contains the field names (as shown below), in the correct order, and with one field per column. The Sections should start on the next
row, with one Section per row. There should be no blank rows between Sections. If you have any problems interpreting the file format, try exporting
a small Road Network. The resultant file can be used as a template and viewed using one of the tools listed above.
The abbreviation TBS is sometimes used in the following table. The meaning of this abbreviation is To Be Specified.
