Route Comparison View
Compare routes side-by-side across clearances, grades, and permit complexity.
Why Route Comparison Matters
Many heavy haul moves have more than one viable path. The Route Comparison view lets you evaluate two or more candidate routes simultaneously — measuring clearances, grades, structural risks, and permit complexity against each other.
Opening the Comparison View
From your project, select two or more routes and click Compare Routes. RoadScope generates a side-by-side analysis panel with synchronized maps and data tables.
Comparison Dimensions
Clearance Summary — Minimum vertical and horizontal clearances on each route, with flagging for values below your load envelope.
Grade Profile — Maximum grade, sustained grade length, and adverse grade segments for each route.
POI Count & Risk Score — Total constraints, high-risk POIs, and calculated risk scores.
Permit Complexity — Number of jurisdictions, permit offices, and known restriction types on each route.
Distance & Drive Time — Route length and estimated travel time under OS/OW speeds.
Exporting Comparison Reports
The Route Comparison view can be exported as a PDF summary — useful for presenting route options to clients or permit applicants before committing to a final path.
Decision Support
RoadScope does not make routing decisions for you — but it gives you the factual data to make defensible, documented decisions based on actual field measurements rather than assumptions.
