Reducing Embodied Carbon in Roads and Highways: A New Data Interchange
Roads and highways are responsible for more than a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions, with 7.3% of global emissions coming from their construction materials (Architecture 2030). Global regulations and incentives to cut these upfront carbon emissions are growing, including the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act, Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act, and the EU Green Public Procurement. This panel discussion will feature international practitioners and data platform providers who are working to decarbonize roads and highways. Civil 3D software can be a critical piece of this effort, if integrated with sustainability tools. The discussion will cover the opportunities and hurdles faced by engineering companies and technology providers as the infrastructure industry aims to improve its impact on climate change.

Let's Hit the Road, Jack: A BIM Workflow for Roads and Highways
This class takes you through an example workflow for a road and highway design project using Infrastructure Design Suite Ultimate 2014 software. We start with InfraWorks™ software for the conceptual and preliminary design phases. InfraWorks 360™ is used to perform vertical optimization of the road design. Then it is moved into AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software for the detailed design and construction documentation phases. Next, we take the design into Navisworks® Manage software to perform clash detections and validate the design components coming from Revit® Structure software and Civil 3D. Finally, the design goes back into InfraWorks and into 3ds Max® Design software to perform visual communication about the design to key stakeholders. Various types of analysis is performed along the way to validate the design and ensure design parameters are being met.

InfoDrainage for Transportation Projects: From Concept to Detailed Design
In this session, we'll explore the intricacies of drainage design workflows for transportation projects, including rail, roads, and highways. Using Autodesk's InfoDrainage and Civil 3D software, we'll present a streamlined workflow that facilitates the interaction and data exchange between both software solutions, with a special emphasis on drainage for transportation-related projects. One of the key learnings will be spotlighting the data exchange and results migration capabilities between civil design software (Civil 3D) and drainage design software (InfoDrainage), without the interjection of spreadsheets. Additionally, we'll highlight InfoDrainage software's machine learning (ML) deluge feature, with emphasis on its potential to expedite the concept and early planning process by rapidly identifying ponding locations on a site. Testing data showed the ML deluge outperforming traditional deluge by identifying ponding on a site in four seconds compared to more than nine minutes.

Parametric modeling and automating the placement of Universal TBM Rings
TBM Tunnels are made up of prefabricated concrete segments which form a ring to be repeated in series, the rings laid in succession follow the course of the alignment. Autodesk Civil 3D is a great tool for infrastructure works like roads, pipelines also for modeling linear structures (bridge, tunnel, retaining wall), and Autodesk Revit is good for parametrical modeling. This class covers the use of Autodesk Revit together with Dynamo and CivilConnection package to leverage the power of Civil 3D inside Revit to automate the process of placement of universal TBM ring along alignment while minimizing the deviation in the placement of TBM ring along the alignment. In this class, I will demonstrate the parametrical modeling of universal ring and placement and updating parameters (e.g. rotation of ring) of the ring along alignment using Dynamo.

Learning Industrialized Construction from Experts in Industry and Academia
The recent joint Autodesk/RICS paper “Future of Work in Construction” calls on industry, government, and academia to join forces to help ensure the adoption of industrialized construction (IC) for transformational change in our industry. Each stakeholder—academia, the private sector, and the government—has a part to play in this shift of thinking, behaviors, and processes in order to facilitate change. The future of the industry is highly dependent on the competence of graduates entering the workforce. In the face of troubling skilled-labor shortages, new employees must enter the industry with the abilities and exposure to technologies to drive digital construction, the IC processes, and higher levels of precision in construction. In this panel discussion, we will highlight the current status and develop a road map aimed at helping stakeholders work together to enable graduates who have knowledge of the required interdisciplinary skills embrace IC fully.

Sustainable Infrastructure: How to Monitor Carbon Emissions of Infrastructure Projects Across Multiple Teams Globally
A large international engineering firm sought a systemic and consistent approach to Sustainable Design within its infrastructure projects. The firm partnered with ORIS to achieve accurate and comparable carbon footprint assessments across diverse projects. The firm aimed to achieve global monitoring of the CO2 footprint of their designs, necessitating a robust and reliable solution for carbon emission evaluation. ORIS rollout involved creating a structured process and data approach to integrate their existing workflows. Using Autodesk Platform Services, ORIS automated the extraction of data from intelligent models, which reduced pain and errors. The process enabled the infrastructure team to spread the solution efficiently across geographies (Denmark, the United Kingdom, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Finland) and departments (road, bridges, tunnel, railway, and so on). This session will highlight key benefits, such as time spent delivering CO2 assessment of the project, measurement consistency, delivered carbon reduction, and carbon dashboarding.

Steps Toward the flow in the Infrastructure Industry with ACC: Owner-Led Data Sharing and Management Reform
NEXCO CENTRAL is a road management company constructing and managing highways in the central Japan area (total length: 2,183 km). Impeding challenges—aging highways and labor shortages in the construction industry—make the improvement on productivity at construction sites a high priority. In an attempt to tackle down the challenges, we started considering using BIM from 2017 to shift from analog data-centered to digitized-data-centered construction management. In 2020, we’d established standards necessary for BIM use and set a policy to embrace intelligent models in design and construction phases, ICT construction, and a common data environment (CDE). Based on this policy, BIM was finally applied to the design and construction phase from July 2025. In addition, we adopted Autodesk Construction Cloud to realize a CDE to streamline the legacy means of communication between multiple project stakeholders. In this session, you will gain insights and tips on how to realize an owner-led CDE.
