  1. OpenRoads Implementation Eric Thomas, CADD Consultant Office of CADD and Mapping Services

  2. What is OpenRoads? • A Technology, NOT a Product From the Bentley Website: • “Common Technology embedded in InRoads, GEOPAK, and MXROAD” • “…the continued merging of functionality for Bentley’s civil products” • “Expands the products to include 3D Modeling integration with CAD, mapping, GIS, and business tools like PDFs, i-models, and hypermodels” OpenRoads Implementation

  3. What is OpenRoads? • Not a separate install • Installed with the Bentley Civil products • OpenRoads Horizontal Geometry tools first appeared in SS2 Bentley OpenRoads Overview

  4. What is OpenRoads? • GEOPAK SS3 Released Q1 2013 • Includes OpenRoads tools & improvements • Software Functions Removed: • Corridor Modeler and related functionality • Roadway Designer and related functionality • Site Modeler and related functionality • Cut cross sections from DTM file • SS2 and SS3 can be installed concurrently Bentley OpenRoads Overview

  5. What is OpenRoads? • SS3 Refresh released March 11, 2014 • MicroStation SS3 08.11.09.578 • GEOPAK SS3 08.11.09.674 • Enhancements & fixes for early adopters of OpenRoads • Includes Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) • A subset of SUDA without the analysis engine • Includes Descartes • SUE and Descartes require a separate license Bentley OpenRoads Overview

  6. What is OpenRoads? • Currently available tool sets: • Survey processing • Terrain Modeling • Horizontal and Vertical geometry • Superelevation • Templates/Corridor Modeling • Cross Sections • Civil Cells Bentley OpenRoads Overview

  7. What is OpenRoads? • OpenRoads does not currently include plan preparation tools • Revert to GEOPAK Road for plan preparation • OpenRoads Alignments, profiles, and terrain models can be exported for GEOPAK use Bentley OpenRoads Overview

  8. Future SS3 Updates • Upcoming SS3 Refresh • Has been completed, awaiting final approval • Full GEOPAK install (not a patch) • Requires a MicroStation update (full install) • Enhancements & fixes for OpenRoads • Includes an update to Descartes Bentley OpenRoads Overview

  9. Next Generation Updates The next major release will (?) remove InRoads, GEOPAK, and MXROAD from the Civil product line OpenRoads will eventually become the civil product for all Bentley users Release date has not been set Resistance is futile… Bentley OpenRoads Overview

  10. ODOT Implementation • Fall 2013 • OpenRoads Survey Standards developed • Winter/Spring 2014 • OpenRoads Survey training for ODOT’s Surveyors • Training guide available in the Standards • Spring/Summer 2014 • ODOT’s Surveyors begin using OpenRoads Bentley OpenRoads Overview

  11. ODOT Implementation • ODOT running the following versions: • Design personnel: • MicroStation V8i SS2 08.11.07.443 • GEOPAK V8i SS2 08.11.07.615 • Survey personnel (currently migrating): • MicroStation V8i SS3 08.11.09.578 • GEOPAK V8i SS3 08.11.09.674 Bentley OpenRoads Overview

  12. ODOT Implementation • Fall 2014 • First release of OpenRoads standards for Design • Winter/Spring 2015 • OpenRoads training material developed for Design personnel • Tentative plans are to integrate the training into Bentley Learn Bentley OpenRoads Overview

  13. ODOT CADD Standards • April 18, 2014 Release • Includes OpenRoads standards in a separate folder ODOTstd/V8istd/OpenRoads • Added User and Project configuration files: • ODOT_OpenRoads.ucf, ODOT_OpenRoads.pcf • Intended to be used with a SS3 installation to gain access to the OpenRoads Survey Standards Bentley OpenRoads Overview

  14. ODOT CADD Standards • October 2014 Release: • OpenRoads Standards will be absorbed into the new ODOTcadd Standards folders • Will not be segregated in a separate sub-folder • New Standards will be developed and distributed for SS3 only. • No further updates to V8istd and SS2 planned Bentley OpenRoads Overview

  15. GEOPAK/OpenRoads Survey • Interface Changes: • No longer uses a Survey Project • Task Navigation Menu • Project Explorer • Context Menus • On-screen prompts Bentley OpenRoads Overview

  16. GEOPAK/OpenRoads Survey • All data stored in the DGN • No longer uses the GPK file • No longer creates multiple report files in the project directory • 3D files required for Survey Processing • Full Annotation Scale compatibility • Undo! • History of changes saved in a log file OpenRoads Implementation

  17. GEOPAK/OpenRoads Survey • All data stored in the DGN (cont.) • Terrain Models stored in the DGN • Terrain Models are shared by referencing • Graphical edits update mapping and Terrain • Can be exported to GPK and TIN Bentley OpenRoads Overview

  18. GEOPAK/OpenRoads Survey • Feature Management via dgn libraries • ODOT_Feaures_Survey.dgnlib • Defines field codes read from ODOT.smd • Defines default survey project settings • ODOT_Features_Terrain.dgnlib • Defines features and element templates for terrain model display Bentley OpenRoads Overview

  19. GEOPAK/OpenRoads Survey • Supports multiple data types • Trimble, Leica, Topcon, LandXML, etc… • Customizable Text Import Wizard • Facilitates ASCII import in user definable data formats • Drag and drop data processing Bentley OpenRoads Overview

  20. GEOPAK/OpenRoads Survey • Geographic Coordinate Systems (GCS) • Establish position of data on the earth’s surface • Bentley Map • Integration with other Georeferenceddata • Google Earth, Bing Maps, OSIP imagry, LiDARdata • Standard GCS definitions Included Bentley OpenRoads Overview

  21. GEOPAK/OpenRoads Survey • Geographic Coordinate Systems (GCS) • Allows for custom GCS definitions • Facilitates grid-to-ground conversions • ODOT GCS Recommendations: • Map data to the appropriate State Plane Zone • Establish custom GCS definition for grid to ground conversion • Define project specific seed files with custom GCS definition Bentley OpenRoads Overview
