Highway application control enhanced by algorithm-based new ınterface software
Abstract
One of the significant challenges encountered during the implementation of highway projects today is the inability to perform accurate and timely inspections. This results in both loss of time and the potential for uncontrolled construction at various points due to insufficient control capabilities at every site. During the preparation of highway projects, cross-sections of only specific points can be obtained, which limits the scope of inspection during implementation. The ability to inspect points outside these cross-sections and control the areas beyond the axis line of the cross-section points during the project execution would provide a significant advantage. Additionally, this approach would result in time and cost savings, enabling the swift execution and control of construction at points outside the cross-section axis line according to project requirements. In this context, an algorithm has been designed to instantly calculate the distance of any point from the starting point, its distance from the road axis, and the required elevation along the designed elevation profile. This algorithm has been utilized to develop a computer program (interface software) to instantly calculate all relevant data for any given point during the project construction phase. For instance, in a completed highway project, using this interface facilitated the analyses of cost benefits achieved.
