Trimble Advanced Route Optimization Technology - QUANTM
1 like1,214 views
The document describes Trimble's Quantm software for advanced route planning. It notes that conventional planning methods rely heavily on experience and are time-consuming, while Quantm uses optimization algorithms and large digital terrain models to automatically generate multiple cost-effective alignment alternatives in a fraction of the time. Case studies show Quantm helped reduce costs up to 30% and planning time by 50% for various large infrastructure projects around the world.

- 2. Content Background Advanced route planning tool: Quantm Conventional planning vs Quantm Case studies Conclusions Between vision and viability there are important decisions to make
- 3. Around 80% of civil infrastructure projects are delivered over budget, over time… The greatest opportunities to contain overall costs and minimise environmental and social impact are at the planning stage Conventional planning methods heavily rely on professional experience and judgment using manual methods An intelligent route planning tool has been specifically developed to address the complex planning process Background Planning Feasibility Design Engineering Estimating Bidding Construction Operation Maintenance Planning Feasibility Design Engineering Trimble Quantm Technology
- 4. Quantm is a revolutionary planning tool for road/rail alignment selection with combined international expertise – Scoping study – Feasibility study – Value engineering It automatically generates multiple cost effective and viable alignments that meet the defined constraints • Consider all feasible alternatives to help make the best decisions • Dramatically reduce planning time and project costs Quantm technology has been used globally for planning over 40,000km of road and railway projects • Australia, New Zealand, America, Europe, Russia, Middle East, Africa, South East Asia, China Trimble Quantm Technology
