The CD/DVD contains a TransCAD batch file (Batch1. rsc), four datasets (Bridgeshort. zip, PMIS. rar, SAM_V3 Model. zip, and VertClearance. zip), the compiled TransCAD network (Final Map. rar), and the complete user’s guide. The user should copy the folder “WTC_TOOL” and paste it in C:\. The four separate datasets were provided in addition to the already created network in case TxDOT would like to modify the network in the future. Detailed instructions on how to replicate the data creation process are provided in the appendix of this guide. However, the final dataset is the only map the user should open.

Using the tool requires only two steps: open the map in TransCAD (Final Map. cdf) and enter some basic inputs regarding the truck, load, and start/end points. The tool will generate the shortest route based on those inputs. However, the user should compile the batch file first.
