DESIGN FLOW CHART
Detail Survey (Use Total Station.)
Methods of detail survey.
Strip Survey
Width of “Right of Way” along the alignment
corridor Strip survey is carried out.
Details of Alignments can be setout at field or at
office.
Detail of profile, Cross section and Plan are
prepared from the contour developed by the data
collected through strip survey.
STRIP SURVEY CENTER LINE SURVEY
DESIGN FLOW CHART
Centerline Survey
Centerline survey carried out for Plan and
profile preparation.
Detail of cross section is taken by using
Stepping method or
Using Total station
Details of Alignments can be setout
at field or at office.
DESIGN SOFTWARE
AutoCAD Civil 3D
Bentley MXROAD

Above site list Different road design software and link to
the concerned developer site.
Software has their own merits and operational capacity.
Accessing our need to select the proper design software.
SELECTION OF SOFTWARE
User friendly
Require less training period
Interactive design features.
Plan-Profile and Cross section need to be inter
connected.
Useful to design as per our Topography.
Do not required high configuration computer
system.
Easy field data importing system
SELECTION OF SOFTWARE
Updates and Customization
Easy update system
Customization Possible as per the requirement.
Value for money
Multi tasking software has more cost.
It is important to know our need and select the
software.
ROAD_MAGIC
It is a Interactive “Road Design software.”
Easy to learn and operate.
It import survey data from Microsoft XL file or user
can directly feed the survey data into this.
It accept data of Theodolite, Total Station, GPS or
any survey equipment which produce X,Y,Z
coordinate.
It also accept Abney level, clinometers, Dumpy level
data with stepping cross section.
ROAD_MAGIC

STEP OF DESIGNING
HOW IT HELPS TO THE
DESIGNER
Consider this Design
At Chainage 0+053
(peg no-7) a heavy
Gabion wall (13.5 m2 of
Gabion boxes to get .98
m width on filling
section) is required to
gain a final road width.
HOW IT HELPS TO THE DESIGNER
Centerline shifted to left and gabion structure is
removed.
This effect plan and
point is shifted from
curve path of IP-1
To adjust this it is
necessary to shift
nearby peg number of 7
such as 4,5,6,8,9 and/or
change the curve radius
and /or IP location.
COST ANALYSIS OF DESIGN
WORK
Total Gabion Area removed = 13.5 m2
Length of Structure = 15 m.
Total Gabion Volume removed = 202.5 m3
Cost of gabion structure (assume)=NRs.2000/m3
Total cost saved due to single cross section
editing = NRs. 405,000 .00
This analysis boost the design optimization of
Road_magic.
