Quick, flexible design of highway alignments with ability to incorporate CAD sketch designs, with transition curve details, and automatic vertical design
Dynamic alignment editing
HIGHWAY DESIGN
Horizontal, vertical, carriageway or feature designs can be quickly and easily edited at any stage with dependent features updated automatically to reflect changes
Carriageways
HIGHWAY DESIGN
Carriageways, single/dual or combination, all generated in 3D and associated with the master alignment. Widths can be defined (but varying) or freeform
Visibility checks
HIGHWAY DESIGN
Forward visibility, horizontally and vertically, is tested based on defined parameters for stopping and full overtaking sight distances and junction splays
Roundabout design
HIGHWAY DESIGN
Advanced Design Features tools are standard within the highway module allowing vertical design of roundabouts by the Stockdale rolling crown method, unique to PDS
Transition curve design
HIGHWAY DESIGN
Transition curve design and super elevations to design speeds are applied automatically but may be overridden for differing entry/exit design speeds and suppression of transitions

BIM Infrastructure Design
Highway Design is an extension to Alignment Design, aimed at major routes and includes automatic and user controlled transition curve design and super elevation application.
