DIOLKOS

DIOLKOS Software is a state-of-the-art road design and construction software. Its design capabilities are not limited to road projects. Designed for: All Cases of Road Design 3D Visualization Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) RAS-AASHTO-OMOE Guidelines Typical Cross Sections Library Multiple Road Projects Hydraulic projects Quantities Measurements Complete and robust solution for designing all types of road projects in a visual multifunctional 3D environment. Slightly integrated with Direct3D, one of the most powerful graphic acceleration engine. Separate application (TRI) able to Create, edit and project in 3D space digital terrain models (DTMs). Involves very fast constrained Delaunay Triangulation and Contour calculation algorithms. Breaklines and holes insertion. Filters for points, breaklines and 3d faces. Insertion / Exportation from/to text XYZ or DXF files. RAS, AASHTO and OMOE guidelines. Design for plan, profile, Diagrams, cross sections, earthwork volumes, quantities measurement. OMOE consistency checks. Design diagrams for superelevation rate, pavement widenings, V85 and drainage layer. Quick and easy insertion and modification of project`s geometry. Real time 3d presentation of the project (for simple or multiple road projects). Real time 3d animation along the road axis. Checks for the final stopping sight distance along the road axis. Survey terrain from set of 3d faces (TIN) or 3D Lines (e.g contour lines). Incidentally shape definition for fills and cuts side slopes. Upgrading design adjacently to existing road pavement. Calculation for drainage layers, capping layer, regulating course layer, benching, soil replacement cuts , walls and guardrails. Visual typical cross section definition, material assigning. Extensive build-in typical cross section library.
