Creation of a New Tunnel Database
Basic Steps
 Defining a tunnel database basically consists of three
parts
 Definition of the tunnel courses as 3D tracks
 tunnel axis
 Definition of tunnel tube cross section(s)
 Assignment of a cross section to each track
segment

10
Creation of a New Tunnel Database
Track (1/2)
 Definition of two tunnel portals for each track
 Definition of 3D tracks by placing additional nodes between the portals
 Connection of nodes with splines or straight lines
 Definition of tunnel junctions
 Bitmap of the tunnel course can be loaded as background to simplify the
positioning of the nodes

Creation of a New Tunnel Database
Track (2/2)
 Available track geometries can be managed in the track list

12
Creation of a New Tunnel Database
Cross Section (1/3)
 Definition of tunnel cross section (line, arc, circle)
 Bitmap of the tunnel cross section can be loaded as background to simplify
the positioning of the segments
 Line editing tools simplify designing arbitrary shaped cross section
geometries
brake line
 trim line
 stretch line

Creation of a New Tunnel Database
Cross Section (2/3)
 Object properties for each cross
section segment
 Segment group
 Wall
 Prediction plane
 Additional data
 Definition of holes
 Assignment of individual material
properties
 Editing geometry parameters

Creation of a New Tunnel Database
Cross Section (3/3)
 Available cross section geometries can be managed in the cross section list
 Edit
 Create
 Load and save for sharing with other tunnel projects

Creation of a New Tunnel Database
Assignment of Cross Sections
 Available cross section geometries can be assigned to marked
track segments

16
Creation of a New Tunnel Database
Validation of Tunnel Geometry
 The tunnel database should be checked for consistency
 Cross sections must consist of a closed curve of segment group “Wall”
 A cross section has to be assigned to each track segment
 Tunnel tube outline has to be a single closed curve without
intersections

17
Creation of a New Tunnel Database
Export of Tunnel Geometry
 Tunnel geometry can be exported to WinProp’s indoor database format
 Wave Propagation and Radio Network Planning with ProMan
 Possibility to simplify database during export
