Specializing in quality software for Civil & Structural Engineers.
Design roads as you always have - graphically. HighRoad uses a fully integrated graphical interface tailored for engineers. Its highly intuitive design means you can pick up HighRoad immediately without being a computer expert or learning complicated commands. HighRoad's interface combined with its built-in intelligence results in fast and interactive road design that produces results quickly.
Fast algorithms together with automatic design functions make design fast and easy. Adjust any of your designs and all coordinates and chainages are automatically recalculated. Geometric calculations are done for you leaving you free to think about the broader design considerations.
HighRoad's intelligent object design automatically maintains complex relationships in a network of intersecting roads. Each road automatically adjusts itself to match changes in other roads that it connects to. This extends not only to the obvious plan relationship but also the vertical grading of the roads, how they interconnect and the interaction between cut and fill batter slopes in an intersection.
Create high quality graphics or impressive three dimensional drive through simulations of your design. Simply specify the design speed and sight distance and HighRoad does the rest for you.
Below is an example of a drive through simulation movie created using HighRoad's visualization tools, which are part of the Version 7 release - available soon. The example is small to minimize download time, but it still may take some time (1.39 Mb). If you don't have QuickTime software, get it free from Apple's web site.
HighRoad produces a full set of plan or profile drawings for you. The drawing manager synchronizes drawing production with design by establishing a drawing layout that is automatically updated throughout your design process.
HighRoad is available in 3 models to provide solutions matched to the varied road design and civil engineering tasks that you are confronted with.
HighRoad S (500 points, one road, one pad, export in PICT and 2D DXF) is suitable for small projects such as road widening, car parks, and private access roads.
HighRoad Plus (5,000 points, 100 roads, import/export options, intersections, drawing manager) is suitable for most road projects such as subdivision design, rural road design, highway realignments, open drainage channels and so on.
HighRoad Pro (500,000 points, all modules) is suitable for large road design and road planning projects.
In addition to the three HighRoad models, various modules are available in order to customize or upgrade HighRoad S and HighRoad Plus.
