Path Explorer AI is a powerful route exploration tool for road design, part of the Softree Optimal licensing and an add-on to RoadEng software. It quickly determines feasible corridor options on terrain models, optimizing routes to minimize earthwork costs and meet various constraints such as maximum grade, side slope, maximum cut/fill, no-go zones, and high-cost zones. Ideal for greenfield corridor projects and major realignments, Path Explorer AI leverages large datasets like LiDAR, UAV, and DEM to generate 3D alignments in polyline format.

Features

• Quick & Easy Preliminary Road Location: Rapidly find optimized routes between point A & B.
• Minimizes Earthwork Costs: Optimizes routes to reduce earthwork and surfacing costs.
• Meets Constraints: Considers road-specific constraints like max grade, side slope, max cut/fill, no-go zones, and high-cost zones.
• Optimized Alignment Options: Generates optimized alignment options in minutes.
• Construction Zone Parameters: Determines costs and constraints spatially using zones like no-go polygons, no-go polylines, polygons, and polylines.
• Ideal for Wind Farm Road Layout: Includes turbine locations as A-B points, exploring potential road locations for wind farm networks.
• Part of Complete Road Design Workflow: Integrates with RoadEng's Location Module for full geometric road designs.

Benefits

• Efficient Route Exploration: Quickly explores feasible road locations, saving time in preliminary road design.
• Cost Reduction: Minimizes earthwork and surfacing costs, leading to significant savings.
• Comprehensive Constraint Management: Ensures road designs meet all specified constraints, enhancing feasibility.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for various projects including greenfield corridor projects and major realignments.
