OSRoad

Overview

OSRoad — Operating Speed Modeller — is a Microsoft Windows application that applies the Operating Speed Model to predict the 85th percentile operating speed for cars on rural roads under light traffic conditions.

OSRoad automates the processes and standards documented in the Road Planning and Design Manual.

A summary of the applied modelling rules is documented in the OSRoad help file.

OSRoad can be used in two distinct modes of operation:

1. Manual entry operations apply when OSRoad is launched using regular means and the alignment data is entered and edited via the built-in OSRoad forms alone.
2. 12d Model™ operations apply when OSRoad is launched via the companion OSRoad macro within the 12d Model™ application.

Maintenance and support details

OSRoad is provided free of charge. The provision of full technical support is limited to users who are employees of the Department of Transport and Main Roads Queensland or consultants performing work for the department.
