This foundation session will cover use of the Traffic Simulation tool to analyze traffic flow through intersections, display color-coded traffic-analysis results, and generate traffic-simulation animations to play in your model. More importantly, the Traffic Analyst panel enables you to specify advanced demand matrices, profiles, vehicle types, driver types, and other variables. This session features AutoCAD Civil 3D, AutoCAD Civil 3D, and InfraWorks 360.

Learn how you can use InfraWorks software to create base traffic models by importing surfaces, roads, and real traffic data, and defining traffic turning movements. Once the base model is completed, you can use InfraWorks Traffic Simulation to create construction proposals to understand how the level of service is impacted once lanes are shut down, and how an alternate intersection is created to simulate proper vehicle movements at the merging point.

This class shows you how to use Civil View traffic import tools in 3ds Max Design software to bring in traffic simulation data from PTV Vissim. We examine how to prepare your data in VISSIM, how to bring that data into 3ds Max Design using Civil View, and how to handle conflicts such as overpasses. We then talk about various ways to use this data once it is set up, including how to export from 3ds Max Design to another 3D package such as Maya® software. You also learn how to replace the imported data with actual vehicles from the Civil View Vehicle library and how to use your own car library.

During the session we will cover the entire process of a road rehabilitation project. The very first step will define the construction regions to minimize the impact of road closure. The design will start with processing laser scan data in ReCap software and InfraWorks software to create objects like terrain, horizontal feature lines, and vertical features. You will learn the best practices to bring the results to Civil 3D software. Next, we will create a road rehabilitation project in Civil 3D, which will include best-fit alignment and rehab corridor. You will also learn best practices for how to smooth the vertical profile to meet design criteria. After finishing corridor, we will analyze the design and use dynamic model to iterate the design to satisfy the requirements like minimum cross slope and so on.
