Jumpstart Road Projects with Fast and Easy Conceptual Design

Conceptualize and analyze design options for roads and highways in hours, not days. 

What is OpenRoads ConceptStation?

OpenRoads ConceptStation enables you to create conceptual road and bridge designs to evaluate more options during the planning and pre-bid stage of your project. You can design more efficiently, identify high-risk items, and minimize costs. Easily visualize and analyze real-world traffic patterns leveraging design-time visualization with 3D modeling and traffic analysis, as OpenRoads ConceptStation provides interoperability with VISSIM.

  • Accelerate Data Collection
    Assemble contextual data rapidly from a variety of sources, such as point clouds, 3D reality meshes, terrain data, images, and geospatial information, to bring real-world settings to your project.
  • Simplify 3D Modeling
    Draw roads, ramps, bridges, guardrails, and streetlights in hours, not days, using engineering-friendly drawing capabilities.
  • Understand Financial Implications Early
    Generate project estimates that dynamically update as design modifications are made. Identifying potential risk early to produce better, more cost-effective design options.
  • Incorporate Contextual Information
