ProVI offers all the tools you need for the effective design of light railway and tram routes and the expansion/modification of urban traffic space (e.g. bus lanes, stops and bus stations).

Comprehensive Planning

Thanks to the combination of our Road and Rail software products, it is now easier than ever to design 3D models of urban roads and tramways – covered and uncovered – from which you can then generate site plans, grading plans and cross-sections and perform numerous other analyses such as setting-out and volume calculations. You benefit from our software’s BIM methodology because the data is stored together with the 3D ground, supply line and drainage models in a shared project database. This allows you to see your design in the context of the overall model.

With ProVI, the Focus Is on the User.

Alignment

Even during the early design phase, your alignment is checked to ensure that it complies with the relevant guideline (e.g. BOStrab in Germany or RTE 22546 in Switzerland). Conversely, the alignment geometry can be used as a basis for calculating the permissible speed in accordance with BOStrab for the individual route design elements.

Switches

When designing switch systems, you can – among other – access all the standard and meter gauge types from the BOStrab guideline and RTE 22546 or create customized designs using standardized blade constructions and variable end sections.

Rail Division

For the small route design radii usually found in urban areas, the rails generally have to be pre-bent along their entire lengths before they are installed. ProVI helps you to define the rail joint points and generate the rail division / bending plan.

Envelope Curves

To allow you to verify the navigability of rail tracks, ProVI offers a range of static methods for calculating space requirements as a function of radii by means of table values or formulas as well as various numerical methods with which the area covered during travel can be determined in a simulation.

Tractrix Curves

To determine space requirements for buses and other vehicles at intersections, stops or bus stations and to verify navigability, ProVI can calculate and draw the area covered by a vehicle.

Route Structure

In the route, you can design a parameterized, 3D model of the complete roadway or railroad – including curbs, sidewalks, cycle tracks and drainage. This model also contains the special layer composition of the tram tracks integrated in the lane.

Intersections

Our highly flexible intersection model won’t limit you to just a few predefined standard forms. You can even design complex, urban junctions with multiple lanes and secondary T-junctions.

Drainage

Design the road and track drainage network both on the surface and in the manholes and pipes below ground – always in the context of the overall model.

Supply Lines

Road work also always affects the supply lines located in the vicinity. These lines – whether for electricity, telecommunications, water, gas or district heating – can also be integrated, edited and visualized.
