 OUR LATEST POLL

With state budgets continuing to tighten, the thought of doing more with infrastructure already in place weighs heavier on the mind. Do you think 2009 should be a breakout year for intelligent transportation system solutions?

Yes, more ITS will help ease congestion and pick up the economy.
No, we need to continue to build new roads and bridges.
It does not matter, because there is not enough funding for an increase in ITS usage.
Poll sponsored by:
Roads & Bridges magazine (RB)

 WHITE PAPERS

Commercial White Paper: Using Hydraflow Storm Sewers Extension with AutoCAD Civil 3D 2008   Autodesk
The ability to perform storm water hydrology and hydraulic (H&H) tasks is crucial to civil and environmental engineers. Currently, most H&H tasks are accomplished using Microsoft® Excel® program, or other third-party applications, with no direct connection to civil engineering design and construction documentation software. As a result, engineers are forced to transfer data between various programs, which results in increased time, inefficiency, and a higher risk of error. This white paper provides a workflow using software that increases efficiency in these tasks.
