LOCATION MAP
The location map indicates the topographic features in the area of the route and selected end points where connections with the existing roads are to be made. Obviously, the route cannot be indicated until the preliminary design has been completed.
In addition, it is usually important that the location map be properly identified with regard to state, country, municipal, and other jurisdictional boundaries, (including federal) agencies and other interests. In practice, it would also be usual to relate the proposed highway to the regional highway network.

BACKGROUND AND SPECIFICATIONS
This section provides the basic information which the designer relies upon to select the routes and undertake the design. The information should be clearly stated also because it informs others about the base guidelines and assumptions that have affected the outcome. These guidelines and assumptions may be the subject of future policy changes resulting from the review of the preliminary design but typically do not change during the preliminary design process.
In this project the background and specifications are presented in the following pages:
Introduction and Background:
The preliminary route selection and design of the proposed highway is intended to exist in
exploring the cost and land use implications of connecting North road with Southwest Road at
points B and 1 respectively, shown on the location map. Tentative analysis of future traffic
levels has been made, including consideration of potential use of the state reservation as an
environmental research area, with possible public access.
Objectives:
In accordance with above background, it is required to conduct a preliminary route selection
and design for a 2 lane highway in accordance with AASHTO “Rural collector” highway design
standards. Two alternative routes initially investigated. However, only one Route is to be
selected for the design process, immediately following a brief screening of both routes.
Design policy:
In addition to Using the AASHTO policy on geometric design for “rural collector” highway as
basic design guidelines, several more specific guidelines has been defined within the IDOT and
general policy, resulting from examination or the environs of highway and its likely uses. The
traffic control devices should be provided in accordance with the latest version of MUTCD and
local regulations.
Design designation:
Classification =Rural Collector
Design speed =40mph
ADT (current year) =0
ADT (future year) =4000
K =10%
D =60%
T =2%
Design Controls:
Design speed, V =40mph
Super elevation rate, e(max) =6%
Minimum Radius for above V and E =485 ft
(Also satisfies stopping sight dist. Requirements for horizontal curves)
Maximum grade, except at intersections =6%
Minimum grade (All locations) =0.5%
Maximum Vertical curve K value, drainage criteria =167
Design vehicle =WB‐50
Intersection Geometrics: Horizontal intersection of proposed route with existing highway should be a minimum
of 100ft tangent segment as close to 90°as possible to the existing highway, but within
the range of 75° to 105°.
Maximum grade (+ or ‐) within 100ft of intersection
Lane Requirements: Two lanes are minimum number of lanes for an adequate design. Therefore, the
highway will comprise 2‐12ft lanes with 8ft shoulders.
ALTERNATIVE ROUTE
From the examination of the contours and terrain, two possible routes, A and
B, were defined, as shown in the figure. In the plan view of these routes, the
curves have been shown to conform with the minimum required radius. In the
profiles shown in figure, both alternatives comply with the required controls, and
Route A is approximately 403ft longer than B. (fig)

SCREENING OF ALTERNATIVES
Examination of the profiles of Routes A and B, shown in figure , indicates that
both Routes A and B could provide a vertical profile which would conform with
the gradient and depth of cut and fill but that Route A requires excessive uphill
haul. For this and other reasons indicated in the summary screening process
shown in the figure, Route B is the one selected for technical feasibility.

PROCEEDING WITH THE ROUTE‐A FOR ANALYSIS PURPOSES.
HORIZONTAL ALIGNMENT
The horizontal alignment can be developed for alternative B and the relevant dimensions and angles computed and checked. The development of tangent and curve distances may then be converted to stations and an estimate of the traverse closure made to ensure that no gross errors have been made in the scaling of distances and angles. As well as the dimensions of each of the tangent and curve segments of the proposed highway, the stations are computed for points along the centerline of the route.
Care must be taken to define clearly the location of the beginning and end points of the proposed route, in this case assumed to be the centerlines of the existing highways. Each curve radius is checked for compliance with the minimum allowable radius of 485ft (According to BDE manual).
During this preliminary design stage for this class of highway, no attempt has been made to illustrate the use of transition curves, however, the superelevation curve has been designed and calculated and shown on drawings.

VERTICAL ALIGNMENT
Based upon the horizontal alignment established earlier and incorporating any modifications to it, the profile at the centerline of the proposed highway is plotted shown in the figure. The location and length of all vertical curves and of positive gradients are clearly shown. All the controls (maximum grades, maximum and minimum length of curve, maximum vertical cut and fill dimensions, and approximate balance of cut and fill) have been compiled with. The following summarizes the curve selection process:
The minimum length of the curve is based upon stopping sight distance criterion.
The maximum length of the curve for this project is based upon the maximum K (=167) value established for the drainage criteria.
Select a curve length that is equal to or greater than the minimum length for stopping sight distance criteria and equal to or less than the maximum for the drainage criteria.
If the selected length of curve based upon the above considerations is not acceptable when the overall profile is considered, the profile must be examined and adjusted, and the process repeated until all criteria are met.

CROSS SECTIONS
The cross sections are based upon the selected design elements shown in figure that are consistent with the cross section design dimensions described in the background and specifications. Note that the cross section elevations for earthmoving are not the same as the pavement elevations because the pavement thickness must be allowed for. For this highway, we are assuming the total pavement thickness (surface, base, sub base) of 1.5 ft.
The cross‐sections are taken at 500‐ft intervals instead of the usual 100‐ft intervals. The 500‐ft intervals are been used to illustrate the process only. In certain instances of preliminary design, this will provide an indication of the extent of the balance between cut and fill but may not always not provide an adequate indication of haul lengths. This latter consideration is not investigated further in this project.
