Traffic Lanes > Lane point (3D)

Definition of lane points with coordinates in the global coordinate system.

Setting	Description
x, y, z	Global coordinate values of the point on the lane
Factor	Factor phi at this point (Normally always 1.0). Note: The influence values are multiplied with this factor phi. This allows for instance for defining a lane related dynamic allowance (although in practice more often related to the load trains). However, if this factor is dependent on the span length and different in different spans, the selective definition for the individual lane points may be useful. An other possible application is a lane with variable width and uniform surface load. In this case it is advantageous to define a load train for width 1 m, and to define the actual width at the individual lane point as factor phi.
