"CSDP+ for Windows" is the new generation for the former
"CSDP for Windows" application. The most important feature in CSDP+ is the
capability to work with highway sectional templates having two different
project levels at left and right side of the route’s center line. In the past,
an application software was developed under DOS operating system named as "CSDP
Highway 3.00" for the same purpose. All the capabilities and features of that
application along with many more are added in “CSDP+ for Windows” application.
Though in the previous "CSDP for Windows" generation,
there were options to deal with simple designs of highway templates, however to
work with other types of highway designs, it was required to work with the DOS
version application as the supplementary module. As Windows operating system
became more and more popular, there was a need for a new generation with the
same capabilities and options under Windows operating system.
To distinguish between former types of highway templates in "CSDP for Windows" application and new types of highway templates
added in CSDP+ for Windows", the former ones are named as "Simple highway"
templates, and new ones as "Extended highway" templates. The "Extended highway"
template has four major difference comparing to "Simple highway" template.
