Trimble Alignment Solutions
The Trimble Quantm Alignment Planning system supports road and rail planners and engineers through the complex process of selecting and generating 3D corridors and alignments. Its unique route optimization technology generates millions of alternative alignments and returns a range of 10-50 best options for review by various stakeholders.
In over 20,000 km of delivered alignments, the system has consistently enabled planners and engineers to reduce project planning time, substantially lower alignment construction cost, and deliver improved alignments that meet environmental, heritage, urban constraints, and design standards set by each project.
Quantm alignment optimization is available in user methods:
The Quantm System uses a thin client and advanced IT technology to access data that is processed on the Quantm server. Suitable for road, rail, and mine access projects of unlimited distance, the Quantm System is implemented on a consultative project-by-project basis.
The Quantm Desktop software has been optimized to process alignments locally on the user's computer. It is ideal for short distance road projects up to 20km x 20km (approximately 25 square miles) such as local and regional roads, bypasses and ring roads and others. The Quantm Desktop also allows the customer to use the software for multiple projects rather than on a project-by-project basis.
"This is the world's first and only route planning system that gives legislators and other stakeholders confidence that all prudent and feasible route corridors and alignments have been fully considered."
Steve Bredhauer, Minister for Transport, Queensland, Australia
