As the world faces climate uncertainty, increasing labor and resource costs, and rapid population growth, the need for resilient, future-ready transportation networks has never been greater. From roads and rail to bridges and tunnels, infrastructure must be designed not only for today's demands, but to adapt to the challenges of tomorrow.
At Autodesk, we support transportation professionals with the tools to meet this challenge. Our integrated digital solutions help teams across disciplines plan, design, construct, and build infrastructure that can stand the test of time—while enabling smarter collaboration and improving efficiency.
Resilient infrastructure isn’t optional anymore—it’s a necessity. And Autodesk is here to help you build it.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Transportation engineering is an area of civil engineering that involves the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of transportation systems for both public and private use. Transportation systems get people and goods from A to B and include road and highways, rail, and bridges and tunnels. Airports, oil pipelines, and traffic control systems also come under the transport engineering umbrella.
Public transportation owners, such as state DOTs, local municipal governments, rail owners and operators, and airport agencies, use transportation engineering software to determine existing conditions and evaluate maintenance operations and expansion needs. Engineering service providers and general contractors also use transportation design software to work out efficient designs and construction methods for implementing the design intent for their transportation assets.
Autodesk’s AEC Collection and Autodesk Construction Cloud are ideal solutions for virtually any transportation project. The platforms within the AEC collection help ESPs and owners design, review, and manage transportation projects through the planning, designing, building, and operational phases.
The Autodesk Construction Cloud acts as a central storage location for design files, project criteria, meeting summaries, design reviews, comments, and issue tracking, as well as many other critical project documents.
