This session will walk through a typical highway/road design transportation project workflow using the full suite of infrastructure solutions using InfraWorks software, AutoCAD Civil 3D software, Navisworks software, Revit software, and Structural Bridge Design software. We will look at the following workflows: InfraWorks road layout tools and component roads for preliminary design; cloud services for corridor and profile optimization for Greenfield or Brownfield projects; the creation of bridge structures and evaluating bridge design with line girder analysis; modeling and analyzing of watersheds, culverts, and drainage networks; the moving of preliminary designs from InfraWorks to AutoCAD Civil 3D software for detailed design and documentation; the moving of bridges from InfraWorks to Revit to make a more parametric structural bridge; and the transfer of detailed design elements back to InfraWorks 360 software to visualize and communicate design intent.

Vehicle Tracking software is a comprehensive Transportation Analysis and Design Solution for vehicle swept path analysis. The software enables engineers, designers, and planners at government agencies and engineering consulting firms to predictably evaluate vehicle movements on transportation or site design projects. This hands-on lab will teach attendees how to utilize Vehicle Tracking software's swept-path tools and use them within a 3D environment in AutoCAD Civil 3D software.

With 5 domains of operations—air traffic, airside, landside, ground access, and underground facilities—an airport presents both the greatest challenge and the greatest opportunity to benefit from a digital model of the facility and it's functions. When working on airport transportation planning projects, it is paramount to know the most effective ways to create multiple data sources and then connect them with the Infrastructure Design Suite software tools into an integrated model to be used for decision-making. In this overview of AutoCAD Civil 3D software, InfraWorks software, and Navisworks project review software, we will explore the integrated workflows and some critical functions that have been tested and proven in the field

In the class, we'll follow the cyclical Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Collection flow of products to produce the all-encompassing product for our client and the public. We'll start with InfraWorks software for planning and studying purposes. Then we'll move to a survey mobile LIDAR (light detection and ranging) in using ReCap software and InfraWorks software. Next we'll finalize our InfraWorks conceptual for presentation purposes to win the job. At that point, we'll use a combination of AutoCAD Civil 3D software and InfraWorks to meet biweekly with a team of a few dozen key engineering personnel. As the design moves to preliminary plans and prepares for the public meeting, the InfraWorks model has transformed into a graphical representation of the precise design in AutoCAD Civil 3D that is pleasing to the eye and mind of the general public. This includes animations for InfraWorks done in 3ds Max software. We'll touch on preparing virtual reality for the public meeting and other ideas. The project preps for automated machine guidance at submittal time while always being synced with InfraWorks.

This class will cover how we used InfraWorks software in conjunction with AutoCAD Civil 3D software, ReCap software, and Inventor software to carry out the concept design for an innovative new transportation system in the United Arab Emirates. You will learn how we used reality capture methods such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to produce digital terrain and surface models from photos, and how we mapped the existing road layout and topography using laser scans as well as ground-penetrating radar for underground utilities to construct a digital model of the proposed system alignment in InfraWorks. It will also cover how the information was brought in using other Autodesk products, such as ReCap for the point cloud capture, AutoCAD Civil 3D for the utilities, and Inventor to create parametric bridge objects for use in InfraWorks as the unique support structure for the transportation system. Also, we'll demonstrate how we were able to bring all the above together to provide the client with the assurance that the system would work and fit the site aesthetics with confidence.

When Wisconsin Department of Transportation implemented Civil 3D software for roadway design in 2010, a primary goal was to develop construction-ready 3D roadway models as part of the design process. In 2014, WisDOT established standard design model deliverables for all projects with earthwork components. This class will explore the evolution of the WisDOT design model concept. We will discuss how feedback from design and construction project stakeholders has changed our understanding of the purpose of 3D design practices on highway and roadway projects. We will review past changes to WisDOT’s design model concept and the reasons for making those changes. We will also discuss the latest proposed concepts for restructuring WisDOT’s 3D design delivery standards, and how these changes are intended to improve highway and roadway project delivery.

This class will explore a large-scale port/transportation project utilizing features in InfraWorks software along with AutoCAD Civil 3D software, AutoCAD software, and AutoCAD Map 3D software. Discover some key techniques to help guide you in transitioning from 2D conceptual planning to 3D and even 4D sequences. This course will cover a wide range of InfraWorks functions, such as creating custom "city furniture" from various sources; creating bridges, roads, and rail; randomizing data objects; running scripts; and, finally, creating project fly-throughs and renderings.

Designing, building, and maintaining a metro line to match the needs of increasing mobility in dense urban areas involves some challenges: constraints on localization, connections with the existing network, works under operation, concomitance of the construction site, safety of traffic and traveler flows, and so on. We'll present new Building Information Modeling (BIM) implementations through different metro projects in France: Grand Paris Express and extension of the networks around the French capital and Toulouse Aerospace Express. BIM is applied on different transportation project phases. The 3D models cover all the works of rail infrastructure, including underground and aerial stations, and tunnels and bridges. With these extra BIM uses covering the entire rail infrastructure, we'll outline the benefits of BIM uses.

The Los Angeles mayor proposed a $91 million project called Vision Zero that will help the City of Los Angeles end traffic deaths and serious injuries by 2025. Every year, more than 200 people are killed while moving through Los Angeles. In fact, traffic collisions are leading causes of death for children in Los Angeles. Los Angeles Department of Transportation and U.S. CAD found many ways to utilize the Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection to help achieve goals set forth by this program. Using reality capture technology and ReCap software, they rapidly modeled existing intersections. With InfraWorks software, city planners created 3D models using their extensive GIS libraries and ReCap scans. Continuing in InfraWorks, they laid out design proposals to communicate design with the engineering team. The city engineers then took the InfraWorks model and refined the design using Civil 3D software. The last step was using Vehicle Tracking software to verify that certain vehicles are able to turn at these new traffic-calming intersections. These tools let the process be done in days, which before could have taken weeks.

Join us as we take a beginner's look at the Subassembly Composer software. We'll create some basic-to-advanced subassemblies here in the hands-on lab. We'll go from creating the PKT files to importing them into AutoCAD Civil 3D software to applying them to our corridor. This class is ideal for those in the transportation industry who need just a bit more than the tools that AutoCAD Civil 3D has to offer. We'll explore the new software features that make 2017 Subassembly Composer part of your project workflows. So, whether you've tried the software for yourself or never even heard of it before, this class is one you won't want to miss.

This session is for you if your projects often cross multiple designs (architectural, structural, mechanical, and civil); if they require intense collaboration across design disciplines, owners, and construction contractors; and if they require a BIM manager. Get advice from BIM experts in the industry and participate in a discussion regarding needs and perspectives from both owners and the engineering/contractor ecosystem. This is a breakout to the Infrastructure Symposium on Monday.

InfraWorks software facilitates engineers, planners, and architects in the making of complex decisions. Of equal importance is the role it can play in explaining the complexities of the decision-making process to a less technical audience, making the "why," "how," and "what" accessible and engaging. As part of a new plan for its central core, the City of Vancouver is replacing a viaduct system, the only remnant of a proposed freeway, with a more resilient and connected street network. Public engagement is a key component of the process-and with extensive changes being proposed to the street system and the public realm, the challenge has been to present the future state and how things are being phased/changed in a clear, accurate, and interesting manner. This class will show how an interdepartmental team is collaborating to use the full palette of InfraWorks software's capabilities-including web maps, ground-based LIDAR (light detection and ranging), and virtual reality-to make the public an informed and engaged partner in the process.

InfraWorks 360 software has tremendous potential for planners and architects. In this era of big open data and the integration of the Internet of Things with the built environment, municipal governments must find new ways to use this growing wealth of information to improve civic engagement, promote economic development and entrepreneurship, and make data-driven decisions. From this perspective, InfraWorks 360 software can not only create a unified platform for all of this data, but also visualize it in 3D, combining all your Revit (RVT) files into a single model, rendering in real time, and running various analyses. This class will use real-world examples to look at all of the features around district planning, transportation infrastructure projects, and airports. We will also walk through how to create and test the impact of various design scenarios and then share those with project stakeholders. Note that we will not be doing any roadway or bridge design in this session. This session features InfraWorks 360 and 3ds Max. AIA Approved

This class will be a 60-minute demonstration that uses 2 actual infrastructure projects as a backdrop showing the synergy between Civil 3D software and InfraWorks software while emphasizing using data from native Esri data sources that are needed from early stages to construction phase. The geographic information system (GIS) emphasis in the demonstration will cover traditional import, FDO connection, the display manager, and geodatabase support, but, more importantly, it will hone in on the new tools available in InfraWorks and Civil 3D as a result of the new partnership between Esri and Autodesk. In this class, the new technology will be applied to real-life project situations, including early predesign changes and challenges, with changing data during the project lifecycle. Project data for the projects will include reality capture, planimetrics, geotechnical, utilities, and transportation.

Silos of data should be history, but integrating geographic information system (GIS) with 3D model-based design can be a real challenge. The ability to aggregate data and visualize multiple sources of information is crucial for decision making within municipal organizations. With ArcGIS Online and InfraWorks software, you have the edge: the cloud-based ability to easily aggregate personal, organizational, and public data previously locked in GIS files or servers. For urban development, environmental planning, or capital projects, this capacity can enhance the value of your GIS data to create rich 3D design models for critical infrastructure projects. In this session, we will demonstrate the use of InfraWorks software to aggregate ArcGIS Online. You will learn how to configure local GIS servers for ArcGIS Online access. We'll also show you how to configure ArcGIS orthophoto and terrain services for use in InfraWorks. Finally, we'll demonstrate the process using a specific road-design example from a large North American city.
