What is OpenRoads ConceptStation?

OpenRoads ConceptStation enables you to create conceptual road and bridge designs to evaluate more options during the planning and pre-bid stage of your project. You can design more efficiently, identify high-risk items, and minimize costs. Easily visualize and analyze real-world traffic patterns leveraging design-time visualization with 3D modeling and traffic analysis, as OpenRoads ConceptStation provides interoperability with VISSIM.


• Accelerate Data Collection
Assemble contextual data rapidly from a variety of sources, such as point clouds, 3D reality meshes, terrain data, images, and geospatial information, to bring real-world settings to your project.
• Simplify 3D Modeling
Draw roads, ramps, bridges, guardrails, and streetlights in hours, not days, using engineering-friendly drawing capabilities.
• Understand Financial Implications Early
Generate project estimates that dynamically update as design modifications are made. Identifying potential risk early to produce better, more cost-effective design options.


Perform conceptual designs during the preliminary and planning stages

OpenRoads ConceptStation is a road network conceptual design software. It allows you to rapidly create conceptual designs during the preliminary and planning stages of your infrastructure projects. The software lets you quickly jump-start your project and improve the decision-making process with roadway and bridge design capabilities. Intelligently model road and land development in context using real-world data and cost analysis to improve your project results.

Create conceptual designs

You can create multiple design scenarios with associated costs to make better decision and optimize road and bridge designs. Quickly load your historical bid tabulations to ensure realistic cost information to help determine the best alternative to move forward into detailed design.

Draw road and bridge designs

Easily draw roads, ramps, bridges, guardrails, streetlights, and more with engineering-friendly drawing capabilities. You can ensure industry standards are adhered to in your design.

Incorporate contextual information

Model in a real-world setting when you locate and download data-rich context information. Easily import data from your GIS to create intelligent 3D models letting you jump-start your conceptual design process.

Render in real-time with cinematic quality

Easily communicate with stakeholders using stunning photo-realistic visualizations. In just seconds, you can access a dynamic immersive visualization engine platform to create natural looking light and shadows, real-time global illumination, IES point and spotlights, lens flares, and luminous materials. Interactively adjust time of day, add lens flares, and apply depth of field while benefiting from highly accurate reflections, anti-aliasing, and motion blur.

Transition conceptual design to detailed design

Improve your workflow and move your optimized conceptual design to the detailed design phase in OpenRoads Designer while maintaining geometric integrity. This helps you to accelerate project delivery and deliver better design quality

Design Bridges

• Place bridges
