Designing the Route

Route scheme design is consisted of two phases. The first one is route design; the second one is optimization for cross section, profile section, and engineering quantity calculation based on the designed route. This section introduces the route design process.

  1. Click the created route scheme object in the Project pane.
  2. Click 《 at the right top of the interface to open the operation pane.
  3. Click the Operation tab.
  4. Select Route Path Design as calculation type.
  5. (Required) Select the WTG group layout in the list.
  6. (Required) Select the map for route design.

    • Database: The road network within the planned area is downloaded automatically as the start point of route design
    • Customization: Select the drawn start point, or the downloaded or drawn road network. For details on start point drawing, refer to Drawing Start Point and Necessary Point. For more information on existing road network, refer to Existing Road Network.
  8. (Optional) Select the road for reconstruction. Options listed are road network objects calculated by route network major component risk evaluation. For more details, refer to the section Route Network Major Component Transportation Cost Evaluation.
  9. (Required) Select the planned area for route design.
    The route design is permitted only in the selected area.
  10. (Optional) Select the prohibited area

    Farm land, mineral area, buildings, protection areas, etc. are prohibited areas for route design.

  11. (Optional) Select the necessary point of route. If there is point that must be passed in the wind farm, you should select this point as the necessary point.
  12. (Required) Input the cost parameters.
  13. Click Calculate. This calculation is submitted to the task list.
  14. Choose Tools Library > Task List.
  15. On the Task List page, select the time range of task submission, select Road Path Design as the task type, and click Check to show the task status of the route design.
