New GEOPAK e-learning courses cover entire
road design process.
Unique GEOPAK learning system provides
self-paced training.
CLEARWATER, FLORIDA, USA —
Axiom announces the release of the GEOPAK* Intermediate
Road Library.
 |
| Sample lesson from the Plan
Quantities GEOPAK course. |
The newest edition in the GEOPAK series
of Axiom's e-learning solutions, GEOPAK Intermediate Road
Library, is the complete training library that trains
new roadway designers on the road design process from start
to finish. In seven in-depth courses, GEOPAK Intermediate
Road Library trains students on design and earthwork for
roadways as well as how to create plots of their roadway designs.
Below are short descriptions of each of the courses in GEOPAK
Intermediate Road Library:
Horizontal and Vertical Geometry Layout Tools: This
course covers several sets of tools that compute alignments
and profiles for different types of roads, from basic to complex.
Plans Preparation Tools for Road Projects: This course
covers the tools needed to create construction plans as well
as using GEOPAK's Design and Computation (D&C) Manager
to compute quantities. Also featured are draw transitions,
plan and profile labeling, generation plan and plan/profile
sheets.
Basic Proposed Cross Sections: This course works through
the generation of proposed cross sections, both inside and
outside of Project Manager. [Editors Note: GEOPAK Project
Manager is a tool that tracks and automatically fills dialog
boxes with information such as the GEOPAK coordinate geometry
(COGO) job number, users, project files, working directories
and various user preferences within a specific project]. This
includes how to utilize all previously-created information
from the design process: geometry, superelevation and existing
ground sections.
Basic Earthwork: This course covers computing earthwork
both inside and outside Project Manager. Includes cut/fill
calculations, undercuts, unsuitable materials, review of the
log file and how to interactively fix errors.
Superelevation Tools: This course focuses on how to
define pavement cross slopes using several different tools.
The training begins with roadways not requiring superelevation
transitions, called "shapeless", and ends with automatically
calculating superelevation transitions. Sections on drawing
pavement shapes and using reviewing, editing and analyzing
tools are also included in this course.
Storing Graphics: This course looks at the different
methods of linking graphic elements and linking back into
the coordinate geometry database. This includes points, lines,
curves, chains, and parcels.
Plan Quantities Utilizing GEOPAK: This course shows
how to generate a list of project materials and how to compute
take-off of any kind that includes such items as curbs, gutters,
water and sewer pipes and lengths. Then, various examples
are demonstrated on how to format the list to various types
of output, depending on the needs of the user.
In each course, students will find an interactive learning
environment that covers an integral part of the process of
designing an entire road. Unlike a classroom, each student
can progress at their own pace, ensuring they fully understand
each section before moving on. What's more, students don't
need to have a copy of GEOPAK installed to be able to learn.
With GEOPAK Intermediate Road Library, students can
do hands-on drills in each lesson with movies, audio and interactive
multimedia presentations to simulate all phases of roadway
design.
