Visualization provides a virtual simulation complete with the physical environment, actual traffic operations, and pedestrians. It allows for dynamic movement throughout the project to effectively demonstrate how a project will work in "real" traffic conditions. Visualization creates a customized, detailed 3D simulation that integrates great graphics and real, dynamic traffic conditions of a project before it is constructed.

Examining the link between land use and transportation systems is an important element of providing useful transportation planning. Visualization helps the design team & stakeholders verify that the right decisions are being made in concert with long range plans. Visualization is a powerful public participation tool that helps people easily see and understand the proposed geometric and operational changes.

  • Compare multiple alternatives and optimize the design process.
  • Reduce the number of meetings and keep the project on schedule.
  • Specialized traffic (toll plazas, interchanges, roundabouts, and transit centers).
  • Multi-modal traffic (vehicular, pedestrian and bicyclists) from any angle.
  • Provide convincing presentations & build credibility during public participation.
  • Satisfy SAFETEA-LU legislation requirements to employ visualization.
  • Overcome public opposition due to traffic concerns.
  • Show future impacts of the "Do Nothing" scenario.
  • Dynamic and interactive virtual 3D models.
  • Merge plans and reports into one complete presentation package.
