Roadway Profile Table

The roadway profile table is provided by the user as a set of station-elevation pairs in ascending order. The stationing is in a decimal ft/m format (That is, Station 100.0 is input as 100, not 1+00 as in highway profile format. Similarly, Station 201.0 is input as 201 not 2+01). At least two data pairs are required. TIDEROUT2 provides a tool to generate this data set in a format similar to that used in the HEC-RAS program. That is, the user inputs the downstream stream cross section data together with the high chord and low chord elevation of the bridge opening. The program can import this information from a HEC-RAS project file if the user has already established a HEC-RAS file for the site. Use of this tool enables the user to generate both the roadway profile and the waterway area opening rating table.
