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.

    Trimble is taking the concept of the building information model (BIM) one stage further with its development of its construction continuum concept. This is intended to show the process and benefits to building a construction-ready model embedded with intelligent data. Such a model can serve as the basis for how contractors plan and execute construction projects. With intelligent modeling, users can add and remove information in real time while simultaneously looking at multiple ways to perform construction
