2D/3D/BIM traffic signal design planning

Autosign is a professional software solution for planning traffic signal design in Civil3D, AutoCAD, or BricsCAD. It generates detailed documentation, layouts, and reports. It generates detailed layouts, reports, 3D (BIM) objects, and realistic visualizations.

Libraries of traffic signs and road markings

Autosign includes extensive collections of country-specific traffic sign libraries and road markings.

Intuitive user interface

Autosign’s carefully designed user interface and workflows make it consistently user-friendly software.

Features

Autosign provides several country-specific road-signaling libraries defined by national guidelines, including traffic signs, longitudinal road markings, crossing road markings, and various other pavement markings.

Users also have an advanced option to create a custom library of their own traffic signs blocks and use them in the designs with the same features that are available with the original Autosign signs.

Available localized libraries of country-specific traffic signs and road marking with 3D/BIM support:

Autosign incorporates a broad collection of street furniture such as road gantries, traffic lights, and many more.

When you are working on road design projects in either Civil 3D, AutoCAD or BricsCAD, Autosign can be used to draw and plan a complete road signalization and prepare the necessary documentation.

You can link Autosign signaling elements (traffic signs and road markings) to the information of your Civil 3D alignment, or any other Polyline alignment in your drawing.

Parking lot design tool enables a parametric design of parking lots. To speed up the design process, Autosign provides a wide variety of floor markings that can be assigned to the design: single lines, double lines, dashed lines, coloring, and many more. Users can either take advantage of the predefined markings that are specific to individual countries* or they can choose to define markings with custom parameters that can be saved for repeated use.

All floor markings created with Autosign can be projected on the road surface or any other surface of the DTM, creating 3D floor markings, with assigned BIM properties.

The parking lot design report is another handy feature that will provide you with a detailed table of quantities which can be either included directly in the design or exported to XLS format for further use.

Autosign creates traffic signs, portals, road markings, and other side road objects as 3D solid objects. Based on this you can easily create attractive 3D visualizations, and use the 3D model for sight analysis and safety measures.

Autosign creates traffic signs, portals, road markings, and other side road objects as BIM objects (3D solid objects with assigned Property Set data), that can be viewed and manipulated in Autodesk Navisworks and InfraWorks or exchanged through the IFC 4.2 file format to be used in any BIM-ready software solution.

Check for possible collisions (clashes) that may occur between 3D traffic signs and other 3D BIM sub-models in your project. Analyze collisions, and find the best solutions to avoid them – all within your CAD drawing.

Autosign comes with detailed and customizable reporting capabilities for every traffic sign and road marking placed in the design, including new and existing signs listing, quantities take-off, and export to Excel feature.

Autosign provides the option to import earth surface data (raster imagery and elevation data) from Google Maps directly into your CAD drawing to help visualize areas where the projects are located.

You can also export your 3D designs directly to Google Earth. In this way, you can create accurate visualizations on the exact location of the project.
