Introduction
Introduction
This manual is an introduction to the application program
RoadPlus for the Leica GPS Sytem 500. RoadPlus is a
complete road package application primarily intended for
staking out of roads. Furthermore, it is also applicable to
railways, canals, damns, pipelines or any other project that is
definable as curvilinear alignments with optional cross
sectional information.
The program supports
•the staking out of individual points using horizontal and
vertical alignments and cross sections.
•station equations.
•cross section assignment by station cross section
definition.
•cross section.
•interpolation superelevation.
•widening.
•staking out of catch points.
Activation of the Application
The application is activated by an access code which is
provided by Leica. If the application does not appear on your
menu or you are otherwise unable to access it, please
contact your Leica representative.

Requirements
You must be familiar with the principles and procedures that
are outlined in the manual “Getting Started with Real-Time
Surveys“ as well as the “Technical Reference Manual“.
If the material referenced is not thoroughly understood, it is
strongly adviced that you review them prior to proceeding with
this application program.
Within this manual, it is assumed that you are familiar with
the operation of the system.

Design Elements General Guide to RoadPlus - 4.0.0en
Design Elements
A road surface can be thought of three different types of
design elements:
•the horizontal alignment
•the vertical alignment
•the cross section

The horizontal alignment defines the road axis of a project.
The constituting elements of a horizontal alignment are
• tangents (straight segments)
• circles
• clothoïdes (spiral in/out, curve in/out).
Each constituting element is defined by individual horizontal
design elements such as station, easting, northing, radius
and parameter A.

For the reason of completness, a short summary of the
design elements for horizontal alignment is included in this
chapter.
The Tangent - straight line between two points. It's end point
is identical with the beginning of a curve or spiral. The tangent
is perpendicular to the radius of the curve.
The Curve - circular curve with constant radius.
Sipral in - spiral transition from tangent to curve.
Sipral out - spiral transition from curve to tangent.
