Abstract

A suite of programs is being developed to indicate the cheapest alignment of new roads. This report describes a program PRELUDE that has been developed to check ground data and generate simplified cross-sections of the ground along the road line, and provides the processed ground data in a form suitable for use with the programs which are used to generate and optimize vertical alignments.
