Transportation

Better
Autodesk solutions for roads and highways can help transportation designers and engineers achieve goals more quickly and at a lower cost, helping to make better use of available funding.

Faster
Autodesk solutions for roads and highways help reduce the time it takes for tasks in all phases of a transportation project, more rapidly assimilate data from a variety of sources, and evaluate more what-if scenarios—helping you accelerate the environmental approval process and shorten the project lifecycle.

Cheaper
Autodesk solutions for roads and highways enable you to more quickly explore alternatives and perform clash detection, helping you to reduce errors and omissions, and lower construction costs.

A general rule of thumb:
Correcting a change in conceptual design costs: $1,000
Correcting a change after detail design costs: $10,000
Correcting a change in construction costs: $100,000!

The Road Ahead
In an effort to raise awareness of new workflows within Civil 3D, Autodesk has launched The Road Ahead screencast, an interactive online video that communicates the advantages of working with AutoCAD Civil 3D over traditional road design tools.
