It's time for a quick quiz: What is expected to be the top infrastructure sector in terms of investment globally? Is it roads, rail, ports, airports, power, water, or telecommunications? According to the McKinsey Global Institute, roads are leading the pack, followed closely by power (see chart below).
As populations grow and traffic increases worldwide, the demand for new or improved transportation systems is rising. These projects are becoming more complex, yet funding is shrinking. There’s no room for outdated 2D paper plans or proposals that take too long to gain approval. When it comes to aligning both technical and non-technical stakeholders on the best design, traditional methods like charts on easels or 2D blueprints just don’t cut it anymore.

*Roads top the list of infrastructure demand globally, according to a recent report from the McKinsey Global Institute.* To address this growing challenge, Autodesk recently launched Autodesk InfraWorks 360 Pro, a groundbreaking software that combines desktop, mobile, and cloud-based technologies to transform how infrastructure projects are planned, designed, built, and maintained. Now, to tackle one of the most costly challenges in infrastructure—roadway design—Autodesk has introduced **Autodesk Roadway Design for InfraWorks 360 Pro**. This new tool is exclusively available to InfraWorks 360 Pro users and is designed to enhance Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows for road and highway projects. It allows civil engineers to explore preliminary design options more effectively and optimize project performance by engineering roadway geometry within the context of the existing environment. By leveraging the rich, data-driven model created in InfraWorks 360 Pro, which aggregates vast amounts of data from BIM, LiDAR, GIS, CAD, and photos, engineers can design roadways of any scale and complexity. This approach improves efficiency across all project sizes, from small local roads to large city-scale developments. The software offers several key features that go beyond traditional CAD and GIS platforms: - **Contextual Design**: Intersections, road corridors, terrain, and structures can be created and edited directly within the existing environment using intelligent roadway objects, not just static CAD elements. - **Rules-Based Design**: Civil teams can streamline horizontal and vertical layout, including intersections, with a powerful set of rules-based tools that automatically comply with local design standards. - **Early Safety Integration**: Safety considerations can be addressed early through 3D analysis of sight distances, identifying obstructions and optimizing visibility. - **Faster Evaluation**: Roadway alternatives can be assessed more quickly using cloud-based services like profile optimization. - **Collaboration & Sharing**: A scalable data model enables multi-office collaboration, allowing teams to document and share design alternatives via desktop or mobile devices. Once a preferred design is selected, it can be seamlessly imported into Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D for further detailed design within a BIM workflow.![2]( "2")

*Consider safety requirements early in project development by analyzing sight distances* In line with Autodesk’s recent announcement about flexible pay-as-you-go access for its Design and Creation Suites, **Autodesk InfraWorks 360 Pro** and the newly released **Autodesk Roadway Design for InfraWorks 360 Pro** will now be available on a quarterly or annual basis. For more information on **Autodesk InfraWorks 360 Pro**, visit the product center. Additional details about **Autodesk Roadway Design for InfraWorks 360 Pro** will be available starting September 16th. For more on Autodesk’s pay-as-you-go plans—including the **Infrastructure Design Suite**, **Plant Design Suite**, and others—visit [www.autodesk.com/pay-as-you-go](https://www.autodesk.com/pay-as-you-go). In related news, Autodesk recently acquired technology assets from Savoy Computing Services, including **AutoTrack**, a suite of tools for vehicle swept path analysis and parking area design. This acquisition further strengthens Autodesk’s capabilities in transportation planning and design.
