GSA 5.2.8. Pro, finding cables within roads

[Björn Schaefer]

Hi there.

I have to find cables interacting with roads and need to sum up those cable - length in general or within a given area (like village or town)

Given sources are:

1. the cables with a curve geometry
2. the roads with a centreline, classified by attribute "Widmung" into "Kreisstraße", "Landesstraße" and/or "Bundesstraße"
3. optional the areas (town / village / ...)

For the different classes of Roads I have to generate buffers:

• Kreisstraßen.centreline.buffer = 7,5m
• Landesstraßen.centreline.buffer = 9,5m
• Bundesstraßen.centreline.buffer = 10,5m

as far as I know, there is no other option, as to split the roads - source into 3 different Buffer-Objects, output-filtered by "Widmung" like this:





this leads to 3 different types of areas, an example is shown below (with two types aof roads and a relevant cable)



For sum up the cablelength interacting those 3 buffer-types, I'm forced to do a triple action (verlauf interacting buffer 1, 2 and 3) and after that, there's the need to re-unite those intersections by using a calculated field.

Is there any possibility, to do something like this smarter???

Thanks in advance
