Profile Data Specifications4.1 File Structure4.1.1 The general file structure is divided into five sections: (1) File Header,Header; (2) Metadata; (3) Longitudinal Profile Data;(4) Transverse Profile Data; and (5) File Trailer. The five sections are stored sequentia

16、lly. (See Fig. 1.)4.1.2 Each of these portions of the file is described in the following sections, as well as the data types and other descriptors thatwill be required by the file. The data will be written to the file sequentially, with the offsets listed in the file header as guides tofind various

17、portions of the file. It is important to note that all offsets are relative to the beginning of the file. Because offset valuesmay not be known at the time of writing the file header, these values need not be written. However, spare space must still bereserved for the offsets so that values can be u

18、pdated when known.4.2 File Header4.2.1 File header contains the information pertaining to the data file type, software version information, and information aboutthe data contained (Table 1).4.3 Metadata4.3.1 Metadata is structured, descriptive information about a resource, or data about data. Using

19、metadata in the binary fileformat will allow generic operating on the data information about which the reader software has no prior knowledge. Also,metadata will allow scalable evolution of the data description without requiring simultaneous upgrades to all reader software.4.3.2 The first value in t

20、he metadata portion will provide the number of metadata entries (MDE) and(Table 2 the). Table 3information regarding each of them. Table 2shows the information required to construct an appropriate MDE.4.3.3 The metadata tags are listed in Table 36, and can be used in any number or order. If no metad

21、ata tags exist, number ofMDEs = 0.FIG. 1 Layout of the File StructureTABLE 2 MetadataVariable Name Data Type DataNumber of MDEs Int32 Number of MDEsE2560 1324.3.4 The names of the standard metadata entries (see Table 83) are not stored in the metadata entry to conserve space and moreimportantly, to

22、allow for localization, that is, the file is not tied to one written language. User-defined metadata entries cannot bearrays and the data type is always String.4.3.5 The storage convention for empty arrays is to store a one-byte value of the same data type as the array. For example, anarray of singl

23、es with no elements would store a value of 0.4.4 Longitudinal Profile Data4.4.1 There are two ways to store the profile data: location-wise and array-wise. The first method is appropriate for datarecording during profile data collection to prevent data loss, while the other is appropriate for post-p

24、rocessing to speed up softwarereading and writing.4.4.2 If the data storage format, from metadata tag #522 inspecifies Table 9, equals 1 (that is, location-wise), location-wisestorage, the longitudinal data will be stored as a sequence of current longitudinal distance followed by corresponding eleva

25、tionsof longitudinal sensors at this location, beginning at the left side of the vehicle. The next block of storage will store longitudinaldistance and all elevation data for the next location, and so on. However, the location may not need to be stored if a specific datainterval is given. (See Fig.

26、2.)4.4.2.1 In general, if a location and elevation channels are recorded for each test location, every set of n+1 Singles (one distancedata and n channels of elevation data) will be read as one profile location. If a specific data interval is included in the metadata,only n Singles will be read for

27、each location. For example, if a standard interval exists and a single channel of profile data ispresent, only one Single will be read for each location. If two are present, then two Singles will be read per point.4.4.2.2 The location-wise format is recommended for profiler data acquisition software

28、. Storing the data after every samplinglocation allows for immediate writing to protect against data loss and reduce memory requirements.4.4.3 If the data storage format from metadata tag #522 inspecifies Table 9 equals 2 (that is, array-wise), array-wise storage,then the longitudinal data will be s

29、tored as a sequence of the longitudinal distance array followed by the elevation array of eachlongitudinal sensor, beginning at the left side of the vehicle for all locations. (See Fig. 3.)4.4.3.1 In general, if distance and elevation channels are recorded for each test location, n+1 sets (one dista

30、nce channel and nchannels of elevation data) of m Singles will be stored in sequence. sequence, where m is the number of points. If a specific datainterval is included in the metadata, only n sets of m Singles will be stored sequentially, with distance being calculated from thebeginning of the test

31、location by the software. For example, if a standard interval exists and a single channel of profile data ispresent, only one set of Singles will be stored. If two are present, then two sets of m Singles will be stored sequentially.TABLE 1 File HeaderVariable Name Data Type Data Default ValueSignatu
