Visualization by Fisher Associates

The public involvement and approval process can be enhanced and accelerated with the use of Visualization - a detailed 3D simulation that integrates the physical environment and actual traffic operations to create one complete presentation package. The visualizations effectively demonstrate how a project will work in "real" traffic conditions.

Visualization provides a dynamic and interactive virtual project to help designers visualize and understand the project before it is built, as well as identify potential design flaws. Projects move quickly through the approval process and gain public acceptance, saving valuable time and money.

Benefits:

• Dynamic and interactive virtual 3D models, customizable with Digital Terrain Models & CAD designs
• Merge design plans and report into one complete presentation package.
• Compare alternatives & optimize the design process, reducing change orders.
• Show alignments, signing, striping, and noise walls.
• Educate and build credibility during public participation.
• Satisfy SAFETEA-LU legislation requirements to employ visualization.
• Multi-modal traffic (vehicular, pedestrian and bicyclists) from any angle.
• Reduce the number of meetings and keep the project on schedule.
• Specialized traffic (toll plazas, interchanges, roundabouts, and transit centers).
• MPT staging & traffic impacts.
