Ferrovia 2015 Railway Design Software

Ferrovia is a professional software for railroad/railway design, railway maintenance and railway reconstruction design. It is a comprehensive, full featured yet easy to use railway design solution.

With its original design workflow, Ferrovia provides the user with the commands and tools to support the entire design process; from the initial input of survey data to complex 3D rail models with analysis tools, to documentation and publishing features. Using its flexible data model Ferrovia can be easily integrated into BIM processes.

Ferrovia includes functionality for cant design, switches design, detailed cross-sections geometry design and more. It can easily handle large projects with alignment lengths of several hundred km.

Railway engineers use Ferrovia for preliminary design, design of detailed geometry railway 3D models and for technical documentation production. Ferrovia includes worldwide rail industry standards and regulations with support for various track gauges, transition curves and cant calculation methods.

Ferrovia also provides advanced tools for existing rail track regression analysis supported with rail maintenance tools to help engineers perform analysis of existing rail tracks and prepare data for rail track maintenance machinery e.g. Plasser & Theurer tamping machines.

Ferrovia Features •

Ferrovia manages complex rail geometry designs, supporting linear and nonlinear parabolas for conventional and high speed rail tracks design.

•

Support for various rail gauges, railway cant calculation and editing methods, custom turnout geometry and editable cross section geometry make Ferrovia applicable worldwide.

•

Cant design and editing tools.

•

Turnouts design tools with profile design and editing capabilities.

•

Detailed cross sections design and documentation production.

•

Rail industry workflows, tools and design requirements implemented .

CGS Infrastructure Suite “CGS Infrastructure Suite” integrates our software solutions for the design of roads, railways, river engineering works and power lines, enabling users to design different infrastructure objects within one project, with a single software solution.

Ferrovia Advantages Intuitive workflow The Ferrovia workflow consistently follows standard civil engineering railway design process used in Europe, which intuitively leads the designer from the start to the successful finish of the project.

Easy to learn and use

Layout

Axes

Layout module includes commands for processing input data and drafting in plan view:

Axes module comprehends tools for alignment and cross axes design:

• Manipulation of surveying points and connections.

• Multiple create alignment methods including best-fit (regression) method.

• Insert and edit topographic and other symbols.

• Raster manager.

• Hatch/color embankments.

• 2D-3D conversions.

• Calculations and interpolations.

• Utilities for dimensioning and processing of plan view.

• Comprehensive cross axes design.

• Alignment and cross axes labeling.

• Drape alignment and sections to surface.

• Creation of profile and cross-sections based on surveyed points in sections.

• Defining lines along the axis.

Well-structured ribbons, menus and simple dialogues enable fast learning for the first time user while the toolbox and command line options are provided for the convenience of experienced users.

Handling of large data sets Ferrovia is capable of handling large projects with very long alignments and thousands of cross-sections within seconds. You can easily work on alignment changes without the need to cut it into smaller pieces.

Support for local design standards Ferrovia is available in several languages and supports country specific rail design standards, turnout-catalogues, drawing layouts and symbols. Ferrovia customers are entitled to use any country-specific version of the software in case of designing projects for foreign countries.

Team-work Support Rail projects can be very efficiently divided among multiple team members who can then work simultaneously. Projects can be split into layout & horizontal alignment drawings, longitudinal-section drawings and cross-section drawings.

Alignments design tools “par excellence” Ferrovia contains powerful alignment design and editing methods and tools. They allow you to design any combination of tangent/spiral

or compound spiral/arc elements.

With intelligent Best Fit algorithms you can effectively work on rail realignments or design alignments automatically based on surveyed points.

Unique cross section design concept The “Design in one, draw in several cross-sections” concept allows efficient processing and editing of cross-sections. Different levels of automation allow for the fast design of segments with similar cross-sections as well as handling the cross-sections where the conditions change frequently. Each cross-section can be treated individually with interactive drafting and editing commands.

Native CAD application Ferrovia is fully integrated into the CAD environment. All the data are stored in one or more DWG files.

The drawings can be modified with CAD commands at any design stage giving you complete flexibility in the design process.

Modular structure Ferrovia has a modular structure.

Modules can be installed separately or in any combination. In conjunction with network licensing options (floating modules and floating packages) Ferrovia corporate installation can be specifically tailored for each customer.

CAD platform choice Ferrovia can be installed on top of AutoCAD, AutoCAD Civil 3D, AutoCAD Map 3D or BricsCAD, where the functionality always remains the same. In the future additional CAD platforms will be supported.

This CAD platform choice gives Ferrovia customers the possibility to optimize their “Cost of ownership” without sacrificing function abilities.

• Clearance check tools and analysis.

• Customize tabular part of the profile.
