Professional Software

for Road Design and

Road Reconstruction

Version 2016

Plateia featuresPlateia includes functionality for DTM, grading, alignments, pro-files, cross-sections, intersections, roundabouts, 3D modeling, traf-fic signs and markings. The 3D model environment enables the user to apply various analyses to the design such as swept path, visibility, road water runoff, and mass haul calculations. It can easi-ly handle large projects with align-

BIM-ready, 3D road design solutionPlateia is a professional software for new road and road recon-struction design. It is a comprehensive, full featured, yet easy to use roadway design solution.

With its original design workflow, Plateia provides the user with com-mands and tools to support the entire design process, from prelimi-nary to detailed design, from the initial input of survey data to complex 3D road models with analysis tools to documentation and publishing features. Using its flexible, dynamic data model, Plateia supports BIM (Building Information Model) workflows and processes. Plateia can easily exchange data with Ferrovia, Aquaterra and Electra.

Fields of use•Design of roads of all catego-

ries: freeways (motorways) with complex interchanges to local roads, forest roads.

•Design of intersections and roundabouts.

•Design of interchanges.

•Design of bridges, viaducts, overpasses and underpasses.

•Tunnels design.

•Urban roads and areas.

•Urban planning.

•Bicycle paths.

•Special roads: racing tracks.

•Design of detours and bypasses.

•Earthworks: quarries, open mine pits, dump areas, earth barriers.

•Rehabilitation of landslides.

•Ski-grounds design.

Plateia packagesPlateia is available in three differ-ent content packages to accom-modate specific design require-ments and needs. These options include everything from basic 2D road design projects (like urban roads, access roads, forest roads, and road reconstructions) to com-prehensive 3D road modeling de-signs of complex multiple roads and intersections to detailed high-

ment lengths of several hundred kilometers.

Plateia assists the user in the preparation of professional draw-ings including the technical doc-umentation according to several roadway design standards.

Plateia has been used in sever-al countries for projects ranging from urban roads and intersec-tions to countless reconstructions and large scale highway projects.

Plateia Advantagessign any combination of tangent / spiral or compound spiral / arc ele-ments. And with intelligent, best-fit algorithms, you can also auto-matically design alignments based on surveyed points.

Unique cross section design concept

The “design in one, draw in several cross-sections” concept allows for the efficient processing and editing of cross-sections. Different levels of automation allow for the fast de-sign of segments with similar cross sections, as well as handling the cross-sections where the conditions change frequently. Each cross-sec-tion can be treated individually with interactive drafting and editing commands.

Native CAD application

Plateia is fully integrated in the CAD environment, so all the data is stored in one or more DWG files. The drawings can be modified with CAD commands at any design stage, thus giving you complete flexibility in the design process.

Modular structure

Plateia has a modular structure. Modules can be installed separately, or in any combination. In conjunc-tion with network licensing option (floating modules and floating packages), a Plateia corporate in-stallation can be specifically tailored for each customer.

CAD platform choice

Plateia can be installed on top of AutoCAD, AutoCAD Civil 3D, Auto-CAD Map 3D, and/or BricsCAD, but the functionality always remains the same. In the future, additional CAD platforms will be supported; and this CAD platform choice gives Plateia customers a possibility to optimize their cost of ownership without sacrificing functionalities.

Intuitive workflow

Plateia workflow consistently fol-lows standard civil engineering roadway design processes used in Europe, which intuitively leads de-signers from the start to a success-ful finish of the project.

Easy to learn and use

Well-structured ribbons and men-us and simple dialogues enable fast learning for the first-time user, while toolbox and command line options are provided for the con-venience of experienced users.

Handling of large data sets

Plateia is capable of handling large projects with very long alignments and thousands of cross-sections within seconds. You can easily work on alignment changes without the need to cut it into smaller pieces.

Support for local design standards

Plateia is translated into several lan-guages and supports country spe-cific road design standards, draw-ing layouts, traffic signs and other symbols, vehicles, etc. Customers are entitled to use any country-spe-cific version of the software in case of designing projects in foreign countries.

Teamwork support and col-laboration

Road projects can be very efficient-ly divided among multiple team members, who can then work on them simultaneously. Projects can be split into layout and horizon-tal alignment drawings, as well as longitudinal-sections drawings and cross-sections drawings.

Alignment design tools

Plateia contains powerful align-ment design and editing methods and tools, which allows you to de-

way designs (including 3D road signs and marking designs). And with Plateia’s ultimate solution, you get support for BIM work-flows and processes, as well as a selection of design data export options and swept path analysis tools.
