INTENDED USE | |
|
|
|
| |
|
The Curvature Extension provides custom functionality to measure and classify curves within a GIS-based route system (e.g. feature class/shape file with or without measures). Curves are measured based on user input of the start and end points of the curve. |
|
This extension was originally intended to be used to measure and classify curves along HPMS samples, and it will definitely accomplish this. However, this extension could be useful for classifying curves outside of the world of HPMS, and has been written with this in mind. | |
|
|
|
| |
|
The classification of the curve (A - F) is derived automatically by the application, eliminating any guesswork as to which classification a curve belongs to. |
|
The extension is written to accommodate any GIS route system, whether or not it contains measures. If you are using a route system with measures, milepoint information will be derived and stored. Otherwise, no milepoint information will be derived (although curve information will be). | |

When the extension is loaded in ArcMap, a toolbar named Curvature appears: |
