Overview

The Iroad module is used for designing roads in rural and urban environments. This module combines powerful graphics hardware with a sophisticated general purpose three-dimensional graphics editor to provide you with a flexible tool to assist in the planning, design and construction of a roadway system.

This module allows you, given a suitable model of the terrain upon which the road will lie, to generate a roadway. You can quickly produce the road alignment, then design a typical road cross section or select a section from a library, apply this to the alignment and instantly get a report of earthworks needed. You can then cycle through this design cycle again and again until the optimal design is reached. From this, reports and plots can be generated.
