BIM applications for Roads, Highways & Transportation design

Learn the Infraworks interface and navigation, including coordinate systems, units, and extents. Explore managing views, imports, and rendering, along with essential configuration options for roads and transportation design.

Apply the model builder to create transportation design models from existing conditions, surveys, and elevation layers, selecting areas and aligning roads and bridges for informed design decisions.

Create a BIM-based design proposal by adding parking, roads, and landscaping, then place cars and adjust parking dimensions and lane spacing to visualize stakeholder scenarios.

Learn to complete a concept proposal by adding roads, buildings, and trees, adjust site layouts, and present designs to the client for approval.

Create and customize road components by adjusting lanes, sidewalks, trees, hydrants, and other elements; apply different styles and sections to represent your concept ideas in BIM road design.

Analyze surfaces and styles in road and transportation design by exploring elevation, drainage, and contours, and applying rules to guide infrastructure planning.

Explore how AASHTO road design criteria classify urban, rural, arterial, and collector streets. Specify design speeds, turning radii, sight distance, and elevation to ensure safe highway geometry.

Explore how to create design drawings for horizontal geometry in road BIM, selecting cross-sections, alignments, curves, and spiral transitions while applying design criteria and markings.

Explore vertical geometry design for roads, including creating vertical alignments, applying vertical curves, adjusting profiles and stations, and evaluating bridge clearances and elevations.

Learn to add and design road components in BIM using cross sections, modify sections, and compute quantities; update layers, sidewalks, bus stops, transitions, and signage with design changes.

Analyze sight distance and obstructions by placing buildings within the right of way, adjust height and location using a BIM model, and evaluate level of service across directions.

Explains AASHTO intersection design guidelines and channelization to optimize storage, decision, and delay for reliable level of service. Analyzes lane configurations, roundabouts, and minimum turning radii for different truck classifications.

Design the interchanges using AASHTO 2011 criteria by analyzing various interchange types such as cloverleaf, trumpet, and diamond, and assessing speed, radius, acceleration lanes, and tapering.

Learn to design and model a main road, cross road, and bridge, including interchange design, section adjustments, and bridge components for a cohesive road network.

Design and modeling of ramps, loops and acceleration lanes with tapers in BIM for roads, highways, and transportation, demonstrating cloverleaf interchanges and adjustable radius and lane geometry.

Explore traffic analysis terms, understand intersections, signs, and signals, and define cycle length, lane groups, critical lane group, volume, and level of service for highway design.
