MithraSIG integrates an GIS component and an acoustic component. Its interface is composed of several parts with their owns functionalities to create a project.

MithraSIG interface

1. The ribbon

The ribbon contains all the tools to create/modify the geometry, but also the tools to convert the data, create simulations and results.

2. The project window

The project window regroups all the overlays containing the data. The imported data are under the entry Input data. MithraSIG data (converted or created manually) are under the entry Model, in their respective variant.

The variants are alternative versions of a project: with/without noise barriers, vehicles speed at 70 km/h or 90 km/h...

3. The graphic window

In this window the user can see an interact with the data.

4. The properties

The tab Properties regroups all the attributes of the items and the geometric information. The information can also be visible using the right-click/Properties on an item.

Note that the Properties tab is pinned to the project window when MithraSIG is started for the first time. The user can move the Properties tab for a better experience using the drag & drop on the right side of the software.

5. The status bar

The status bar allows to see several information such as the number of selected items, the coordinates, the scale factor.

Moreover, each interface has a background colour representing the main stages of the project:

Green

Model creation phases

Orange

Simulation phases

Parameters

Blue

Mapping phases

Violet

Analysis

With MithraSIG, the functions, fields and buttons are only visible if the conditions are fulfilled so that the interfaces can be used by the operator. For example, the Confirm button will only be active if all the parameters required by the function have been entered.

If any fields or parameters have not yet been entered, the interface displays small red boxes. If you place your cursor on a red box you will see a tool tip telling you what to enter.
