The Transportation Power Track is a series of comprehensive classes that focus on the different phases of projects beyond "field to finish". This track covers the comprehensive traditional topics-from mapping and geospatial data integration to surveying, conceptual design, roadway drainage design and final roadway corridor design (including rehabilitation-type projects).
Non-traditional transportation engineering topics are also covered, including site design and grading for rest-stop areas to the day-to-day management and maintenance of transportation infrastructure.
These sessions are ideal for users who want to learn about expert techniques or pick up different approaches to solving transportation industry problems. With 9 sessions and 13.5 hours of lectures covering the key aspects of the design processes, you can attend all the Transportation Power Track sessions, design your own curriculum, or choose from our specialized series to maximize your skills in the following areas:
Survey and Design
Transportation infrastructure projects follow a general path before the construction phase begins.
In the project planning phase, disparate data from various sources is aggregated and analyzed, and field surveys of the project area are completed. Next, in the detailed design phase, an optimized roadway corridor is designed, including drainage networks, and the intended design is visualized and communicated to project stakeholders and pre-construction.
These classes examine the model-based approach to roadway design-from start to finish-which enables projects to be completed better, faster, and cheaper.
The seven courses in this series cover the conceptual and detailed design phases of transportation infrastructure projects. These classes are specifically designed for surveyors, civil designers, civil engineers and others involved in transportation infrastructure design.

Build, Operate, and Maintain
From construction to operations and maintenance, these classes cover the tools that aid in the construction process of the infrastructure project and the asset management and operations of the infrastructure in place.
The use of rich models in the design phase for construction reviews, including the creation of timelines for project schedules will help in merging of the models into an as-built system of records that can be used for reporting, planning and day-to-day operations of the infrastructure.
The classes in this track are must-attend sessions for those users in the transportation industry who want to better integrate and manage the design, construction, and operations processes of the infrastructure lifecycle.
