Connect the Physical and Virtual World to Better Plan, Design, Construct, and Operate Your Road Networks

Many bridges and roads around the world are in poor condition due to age, wear and tear, and environmental factors, requiring repair or even replacement. To make our roads and bridges safer, transportation agencies must prioritize strategic investments to improve and preserve roadway conditions, as well as plan for constructing new roadways.

To do their job better and faster, transportation agencies need innovative technologies and processes, including digital twins. Digital delivery incorporates streamlined processes to manage asset information changes throughout the project. With this delivery method, it’s easier to review design intent and develop high-resolution 3D design visuals, providing improved design quality. Digital delivery also improves design efficiency and enables contractors to benefit from a more complete representation of the design intent delivered in a more directly usable format.

Read our e-Book to learn how users in Europe are leveraging digital twins to synchronize work, gain greater visibility, and make sense of the right data at the right time across the lifecycle of assets.

  • Asphalt and bitumen - testing for performance
    February 29, 2012
    The stresses placed on modern asphalt and bitumen means that specialist equipment is essential to make sure performance specifications are met. As road traffic increases at a rapid pace and road safety becomes a priority issue, asphalt is put under increasingly higher stresses. For example, road surfaces are subject to compression, flexural tensions and tangential stresses: internal friction, depending on the aggregates, and the cohesion, guaranteed by bitumen's composition, are the two main properties whic

    July 19, 2017
    Sustainability and the highways sector’s image issue were two major themes at the 10th symposium of the European Asphalt Paving Association in Paris. Margo Cole reports. Sustainability was explicit or implicit in many presentations during EAPA’s biennial symposium for the paving supply chain. The industry feels that sustainability is its home territory, thanks to an already good – and getting even better - record of recycling of materials. But do buyers and users of roads realise that the design and contrac
