685 Autodesk has launched a specialist training and certification package for civil engineers to bring them up to speed on modem BIM (information modelling) workflows. The Autodesk Official Training Guide, is not just teaching the functionality of the programs says the company, but aims to show how the Autodesk infrastructure software workflows "can help owners and service providers on roads and highways improve productivity, optimise designs, and accelerate project approvals." The course simulates a roadways project from planning and design through visual communication and construction documentation using an integrated BIM workflow using the latest 3282 AutoCAD Civil 3D, Autodesk InfraWorks, Autodesk InfraWorks 360, and Autodesk Navisworks Manage software. The Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suite 2014: BIM Workflow for Roads and Highways guide is available in hard copy or eBook format by online purchase from Ascent publishing (%$Linker: 2External<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary />000oLinkExternalwww.ASCENTed.comwww.ASCENTed.comfalsehttp://www.ascented.com/falsefalse%>).
Kosovo’s Route 7 Motorway is an 84km dual carriage motorway that will span Kosovo from the southwest border with Albania to the capital city of Pristina, tying the heart of Kosovo to the Albanian port city of Durres. This motorway is part of the pan-European motorway network for Southeast Europe and provides a key trade corridor. In November 2011, Bechtel-Enka General Partnership (BEGP) successfully delivered 38km to the people of Kosovo, only 19 months after the contract award. The second main achievement
Paris-based Arcure has developed the sophisticated Blaxtair safety camera system for use with off-highway equipment to reduce risks for site personnel. This camera helps detect obstacles, locate them precisely and identify them. Highly sophisticated, the Blaxtair unit can distinguish pedestrians from other objects in real time. When a pedestrian is detected in the danger zone, Blaxtair emits a sonic alarm to the driver that increases with the imminence of the danger. A control screen in the cabin allows the

SES America (SESA) is hosting a webinar on 15 December, dedicated to solar ITS solutions, from 1300-1400 ET, 1000-11000 PT.
The webinar, Powering ITS anywhere, anytime with solar energy solutions, will discuss the seven myths about solar-powered DMS (dynamic message signs) and why the rise of solar power has paved a way for ITS. It will also discuss how to calculate an optimised solar ITS system.
More information and details of how to join the webinar are on SESA’s website.
