The latest update to Autodesk InfraWorks 360 has introduced a more cohesive integration between design and analysis, significantly streamlining the workflow for civil engineers. Roadway design is inherently iterative, requiring designers to juggle multiple variables like geographical and financial limitations, adherence to geometric standards, safety considerations, and vehicle capacity. The newly integrated traffic simulation and analysis tools within InfraWorks 360 enable these elements to be addressed within a unified, intelligent 3D model. This advancement dramatically reduces the time needed to secure approvals from stakeholders, ensuring smoother project progression.
Beyond traffic simulation, InfraWorks 360 now offers enhanced collaboration features, including the option to share models in read-only formats. This empowers designers to maintain tighter control over their data while also introducing several innovative features for road, rail, and bridge design.
One standout addition is the Traffic Simulation module, which has transitioned from an Autodesk Labs Preview to a core component of the Roadway Design suite. This capability provides designers with increased assurance that their proposed designs will meet traffic capacity needs before they are handed off to traffic engineers for deeper scrutiny. Users have full autonomy over which roads undergo simulation, with options to customize traffic flow, timing, lane configurations, and signalized intersections—even handling roundabouts seamlessly. By embedding analysis directly into the design phase, iterations and revisions become less frequent, saving both time and resources.
The intuitive graphical interface of the Traffic Simulation tool makes identifying bottlenecks straightforward, highlighting areas needing adjustment visually.
In addition to traffic simulation, rail design has seen significant upgrades. Designers now enjoy greater flexibility through customizable rail styles, essential for intricate structures like tunnel entrances or viaducts. Multiple rail features can now be grouped under a single entity—for instance, a dual-track bridge can represent two separate rail lines collectively—reducing redundancy and enhancing efficiency.
Road design benefits from refined intersection modeling tools capable of handling staggered intersections effortlessly. Features like Right-In, Right-Out, and Left-In, Left-Out intersections are now easier to implement, while roundabouts now support both left- and right-hand driving conventions alongside standardized road markings and yield lines.
Bridge design has also been enriched with a comprehensive library of pier and foundation styles, offering greater realism in models. Customization at a granular level is supported via asset cards, and synchronized updates across similar components ensure consistency without redundant recalculations.

As noted by Mark Burgess in his blog post on BIM on the Rocks, these updates collectively redefine how comprehensive civil engineering projects are conceptualized and executed. Whether you're planning highways, railways, or bridges, InfraWorks 360 is setting a new benchmark for innovation in the field.
