Engineering & Design Aids
3D Visualization can be used to help the engineer envision how different designs will affect the safety of an intersection or roadway. The renderings don’t have to be “pretty” or complete, but if sufficient information is shown, the designer can actually “see” what the driver will see for a particular design.
Project: SR 274, Perry County, PA
Client: Pennsylvania Department of Transportation
These images demonstrate how different swale widths and slopes can affect driver sight distance.
Project: Route 15, Lycoming County, PA
Client: Pennsylvania Department of Transportation
Rendered images can also be used to help the engineer visualize the highway in an unusual situation.
