TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING SOFTWARE

Toward tomorrow

Tackle current and future transportation infrastructure
challenges with faster, more forward-looking tools.

Prepare for what's next, now

Challenges like climate change, aging infrastructure, increase project complexity, and labor shortages are stretching traditional approaches to transportation engineering to their limits. But it's exactly conditions like those that present the greatest opportunities to embrace new ways of working and challenge the status quo. 

Autodesk solutions can help you harness new digital workflows and cloud collaboration capabilities that lead directly to more efficiency and interoperability–resulting in more project wins, improved collaboration, increase design quality, and overall, greater ROI.

Engineering firms delivering pioneering transportation projects

Digital planning becomes a reality

The German railway is working toward several digitization goals in an effort to achieve more efficient, effective projects.

Test driving a smart city

The Municipality of Genoa obtained a fully navigable and immersive reality model of building and underground utilities.

Project delivery with BIM and GIS

VolkerWessels takes advantage of BIM and geographic information system (GIS) integration to unlock innovations and enhance project delivery.

Toward long-life, sustainable infrastructure

A more extreme climate threatens the longevity of infrastructure. In that context, resilience is the most sustainable quality a project can have–and the best way to achieve it is with adaptable, digital transportation engineering software. Read how two United States Departments of Transportation are thinking about the connection of BIM to the resiliency of infrastructure.

Look ahead at transportation trends

Shift toward digital transformation

Digitization is accelerating and transforming how the industry works. With it, it's possible to unlock smarter decision-making, expand design capabilities, optimize asset resiliency, and consistently deliver top-notch projects on time.

Updated information management standards

In transportation, ISO 19650 is becoming the information management standard. IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) and BCF (BIM Collaboration Format) are now the deliverables.

Decarbonization and reducing emissions

Along with updating aging infrastructure, governments are pushing net-zero emissions plans to accelerate the decarbonization of the industry. Supporting owner-driven sustainability initiatives has become a key part of transportation infrastructure projects. 

Integrating land development and building design

As populations grow and urbanization increases, the need for integrated land development and building design solutions is rising. Interoperability and integration across solutions, BIM & GIS, and cloud-based workflows help address growing demands.
