At a Glance

Proven CAD technology
  • Powerful alignment capabilities for road and highway design using PVIs or elements, automatically taking constraints into account
  • Provides Alignment Manager and Wizards for the design of intersections, roundabouts, and turning facilities
  • Cross section design using components at the click of a mouse button
  • Extensive built-in libraries and user-friendly Horizon Manager in cross section
Interdisciplinary collaboration

Our software enables interdisciplinary work and promotes seamless collaboration across various fields. VESTRA Road integrates smoothly with these VESTRA apps:

  • DTM
  • Railway
Alignment creation: PVIs/elements

PVIs or elements can be used for alignment creation. Employ PVIs to easily create an alignment free-hand, taking road edges and distances from existing data into account. Creating alignments using elements provides the cutting edge of alignment design capabilities in VESTRA Road. In addition to elements like circular curves, clothoids, and tangents, outside constraints and interrelationships are automatically included and considered with every alignment modification.

Vehicle Simulation and Design Evaluation

The swept curve module offers the latest technology for a realistic representation of the rideability of road infrastructure, e. g. roundabouts. It contains design vehicles conform to German guidelines and a variety of example vehicles. Also, users can define customized vehicles with wheelbase, maximum steering angle, etc.  A detailed vehicle turn report provides a comfortable means to evaluate rideability and helps you find the optimal solution even for the most complex assignments.

Planning and BIM modeling

VESTRA features all essential openBIM interfaces and enables seamless BIM-compliant workflows for your infrastructure projects. The implementation of the IFC4x3 data format ensures the representation of road alignments, gradients, and related specialist objects (e.g., visibility fields).

With VESTRA INFRAVISION, we offer an advanced system that fully supports open, model-based data exchange in accordance with the openBIM principle.
