OpenRoads Designer

Roadway Design Software

End-To-End Detailed Road Design Capabilities In One Application

OpenRoads Designer is a comprehensive and fully functioned detailed design application for surveying, drainage, subsurface utilities, and roadway design that supersedes all capabilities previously delivered through InRoads, GEOPAK, MX, and PowerCivil.

From integrating existing conditions to working with other project partners, OpenRoads’ model-centric approach makes it easy to work with different data types, disciplines, and distributed teams.

Reduce highway design time with a complete toolset for survey, drainage, utilities, and roadway detailed design in one application. Start with real data, and create accurate, georeferenced 3D designs with real-world context through the seamless integration of reality data and design information. It is all about the details.

Whether you need to produce traditional 2D deliverables, advance to 3D modeling, support digital transformation, or all the above, OpenRoads is the choice for road design.

Model And Analyze Terrains

Create intelligent models containing not only terrain data, but also roadway or site features. You can use features to visually distinguish structure, appearance, and symbology in the design.

Create Horizontal And Vertical Alignments

Use object-oriented coordinate geometry and alignment design capabilities that provide intelligent updating as you quickly create precision horizontal and vertical alignments. Use elevation profiles to display surface information, as well as vertical alignments associated with horizontal alignments.

Design And Model Stormwater Drainage

From the creation of models from 2D artifacts and external data, through steady and unsteady state hydraulics and hydrology, to BIM and plans production, you’ll reduce design time with a complete toolset in one application.

Create Profiles And Cross-Sections

Create profiles and cross-sections from any point within the design. View updates on the fly as the design is modified with dynamic cross sections. You can see the ground changing to reflect design edits. Include surface features, corridor components, and notations, such as construction limits or stationing.

Design, Model And Analyze Corridors

Use immersive corridor modeling capabilities that support complex modeling and file federation demands required by BIM Level 2 and beyond. Streamline the complex development of every aspect of the roadway in a single, parametric presentation. You can move rapidly along a corridor at controlled intervals, viewing and dynamically designing all roadway components in concert.
