Traffic Lane > Lane point definition (intermediate point)

Definition of a lane point as intermediate point between 2 lane points whose positions have been fully defined with POS3D, POSEG or POSEL.

SettingDescription
Element Reference element
dl/l Distance of the lane point from the previous fully defined point expressed as expressed as ratio to the distance between the previous and next ensuing  fully defined lane point.
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.
