When importing superelevations from *.csv, without using the Superelevation Wizard, the length of the lane cannot be determined by the user mannually. As a consequence the Rate of Change of Cross Fall, in transition regions (e.g. from qa=-2.5% to qe=6%), is not calulated correctly (refer to the tabular editor or in the superelevation band of the profile). In order to do so, the following data could be imported by the user, along with all other data with the *.csv file 1. Left outside lane normal width 2. Left inside lane normal width 3. Right outside lane normal width 4. Right inside lane normal width By doing so, and by proper modification of the code of the software, the exact and correct rate of change of cross fall will be calculated for the lanes. Just for the record, what is now happening, is that the user cannot provide the lane width without using the Superelevation Wizard. When a *.csv file is imported, the software assumes arbitrarily a length of 1m, common for all lanes (inside ot outside, left or right). Another workaround would be to multiply the Rate of Change (of each lane) calculated by the software, as this is now calculated i.e. for lane width = 1,00m, with the length of the lane. This would also provide for the correct rate of change.
