Roads & Highways

Autodesk® provides governmental transportation professionals with a better, faster and more affordable BIM solution for planning, designing and constructing road and highway projects.

With 2D drafting, 3D modeling, visualization and geospatial data integration tools, Autodesk transportation software helps you work more more productively, efficiently and transparently.

Building Information Modeling (BIM)

Autodesk delivers a BIM solution for road and  highway projects that helps to:

  • Improve communication and project data sharing between extended roadway design and construction teams 
  • Enable accurate, consistent and reliable information across the scope of a project
  • Reduce errors, minimize construction costs and increase productivity

Productivity

Using Autodesk solutions for model-based design helps you maintain consistent and coordinated data to save time and reduce errors and rework. Communication is streamlined so road and highway projects get completed faster—and more cost-effectively.

Accountability

Autodesk model-based design technology provides greater project coordination, visibility, and accountability. It helps multiple stakeholders understand a project, while keeping data highly accurate and reportable.

Sustainability

Autodesk transportation software solutions support green highway design by enabling you to:

  • Produce precise, accurate models
  • Facilitate environmental impact analysis
  • Minimize disruption to land and water
  • Coordinate construction
