Tip

Road networks in Haul Infinity have:

  • Default speeds,

  • Global Maximum speeds,

  • Signposted speeds,

  • Cornering speeds and Ramp speeds.

Wherever two speed settings conflict, the lowest speed will be chosen.

Default Speeds

Whenever a new segment is drawn, it is automatically signposted at the default speeds.

  • Trucks can travel up to (but not more than) the Max Speed.

  • Trucks exit the segment up to (but not more than) the Final Speed.

  • Trucks always choose the lowest of all applicable speed limits.


Max Speed

To change the network default Maximum speed:

  1. Go to Tools > Project Settings > General > Network Defaults > Max Speed.

  2. Change the Max Speed to 60 km/h.

Note that even if you specify a higher speed by the speed sign or in the Limit setup step, a lower one will always be applied. So if you need to increase the speed limit on certain road sections but it is not being implemented, pay attention to this max speed value, which is set to 40 km/h by default.

Max Speed for the selected segments can be adjusted fin the Properties panel and in the Grid tab.

Road Signage

Tip

Speed signage is displayed where there is a change in speed between two segments, or at the end point of a road. 

  • The Road Signs menu can be found in the top right panel with the Overlays and Flags menus.

  • Additional signs are available in the To Show dropdown box.

...

There are two sign types:

...

    • To add, expand the To Show dropdown menu and select the signs you want to see in the panel above and be able to apply to the road sections.

Set Road Rules

  • Drag and drop some signs onto the network to create safe intersections and appropriate speeds.

  • Select some segments > Right click > "Set Speed Limits on Selected Segments".

...

  • Select some points > Right click > "Set Final Speed on Selected Points".

Trucks are restricted to this maximum speed.

Slow point - Trucks slow down to the specified speed approaching this sign (before they exit the segment), then speed up.

Stop and wait - Trucks stop and wait at this sign for the number of seconds.

Trucks cannot enter from this direction (but may exit).


Road signs direction

Speed signs are applied to the segments towards which they are inclined.

Applying Speed Signs

There are different ways you can use to set speed limits on your project network.

Dragging signs onto the network

Tip

Road signs can be dragged and dropped onto the network to reproduce the site road rules.

  1. Go to the Network tab and in Nodes panel choose a node and double click on it.

  2. Locate the Road Signs panel to the right of the Viewport.

  3. Select a 20 km/h sign and drag it onto the road approaching the node. 

  4. Speed limit of 20 km/h will be applied to the road approaching this node.

Setting Speed Limits on Selected Segments

Tip

Speed limits can be set to the selected segments/roads of the network.

  1. Double click the road of interest (example, entry road to the Stockpiles/Crusher, in pit roads, dump ramp).

  2. Right click > Set Speed Limit on Selected Segments > 30 km/h.

  3. Speed limit of 30 km/h will be applied to the segments/road selected.

Image Added

Setting Final Speed on Selected Points

Tip

Final Speed limits can be set to the selected points of the network.

  1. Double click the point of interest (example, intersection or access road entry).

  2. Right click > Set Final Speed on Selected Points > Slow 20.

  3. Trucks will slow down to 20 km/h when approaching this point.

Image Added

Changing Speed Limits

To change the speed limit, simply drag and drop other road sign over the existing one, or apply speed limit on the selected segments via right-click option, as describes above.

Image Added

Removing Road Rules

Stop signs and slow points can be removed from segments via the right click menu. 

...

  1. Select segment(s) > right click > Clear Slow Point and Stop Signs.

  2. All Slow points and Stop signs will be removed from the selected segments/road.


Speed signs are never "removed" because all segments have a speed. Speed signs will be visible whenever there is a change in speed: at a terminal point, at an intersection, or anywhere on the road you have dropped a sign. To make a sign invisible, change the speed limit to be equal to the neighboring segments.

Image Added

Example
  1. Find a road with a 40 km/h speed limit.

  2. Drag a 20 km/h sign onto the road. The sign is visible because there is a speed change from 40 to 20 km/h.

  3. Drag a 40 km/h sign over the top of the 20 km/h sign. The sign will disappear, because there is no speed change along the segment.
