Hi All,
I've done some work this year with transmission routing and scoring for new projects. This work was done based on a request to determine the design deflection angle for a series of proposed structure locations along a new transmission route.
Based on this specific request and need, I created a python script that takes the input of any polyline (planned transmission project route), creates points at the vertices of that polyline, and calculates the relative deflection angle at each location. The output is a point feature class written out to the input workspace that contains attribute information that can be used to benefit scoring criteria for cost considerations when planning new projects.
