LaneTowardCrown

This subassembly creates a cross-sectional representation of a travel lane that is being inserted from the inside edge of pavement towards the crown point.

Note: This subassembly does not support superelevation axis of rotation pivot points other than Centers. This subassembly has been deprecated and is available only in the Corridor Modeling Catalogs. The LaneSuperelevationAOR subassembly has all the functionality of this subassembly, and it supports superelevation axis of rotation pivot points.

It uses the Outside Lane superelevation slope value for the corridor model’s baseline alignment. The pavement structure follows the standards described in “Pavement Structure on Paved Sections” in the Autodesk Civil 3D Help.

Attachment

The attachment point is at the inside edge of lane on the finish grade surface. This component can be attached to either the left or right side.

Input Parameters

Note: All dimensions are in meters or feet unless otherwise noted. All slopes are in run-over-rise form (for example, 4 : 1) unless indicated as a percent slope with a “%” sign.

Target Parameters

This section lists the parameters in this subassembly that can be mapped to one or more target objects. For more information, see To Specify Corridor Targets.

Parameter

Description

Status

Width

May be used to override the fixed lane Width value and tie the edge-of-lane to an offset alignment. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying the width: alignments, polylines, feature lines, or survey figures.

Optional

Crown Elevation

May be used to override the normal lane slope and tie the outer edge of the travel lane to the elevation of a profile. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying the elevation: profiles, 3D polylines, feature lines, or survey figures.

Optional

Description

Type

SE AOR Unsupported

This subassembly does not contribute to the calculation of superelevation axis of rotation pivot points. If it is used in a subassembly that is used for an axis of rotation calculation, a will be displayed in layout. For more information, see Profile Grade Line Adjustments During Superelevation.

Lane Width

Width slope of the lane

Numeric

Lane %Slope

% slope of the lane

Numeric

Behavior

The Inside Lane superelevation slope is obtained from the superelevation specifications for the baseline alignment, and the algebraic sign of this value is reversed. If inserting to the left, the Right Outside Lane Slope is obtained and reversed; if inserting to the right, the Left Outside Lane Slope is obtained and reversed. Starting at the attachment point, a finish grade surface and parallel subgrade are inserted using the given width, depth, and the reverse superelevation slope. Vertical links close the shape at either end of the lane.

If an offset horizontal alignment name is assigned to the Width during corridor modeling, the width of the lane will vary to match the offset of the alignment.

Layout Mode Operation

In layout mode, this subassembly displays the finish, base, and subbase links for the given width and depths at a -2% slope.

Point, Link, and Shape Codes

The following table lists the point, link, and shape codes for this subassembly that have codes assigned to them. Point, link, or shape codes for this subassembly that do not have codes assigned are not included in this table.
