Case Study: Texas Department of Transportation improves corridor planning and alternative analysis with Trimble Alignment Planning

Trimble Alignment Planning 1,000 mile I-69 Trans-Texas Corridor Study - Tier One

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and its consultant faced the immense challenge of planning a 1,000-mile multimodal corridor while evaluating a massive number of environmental, community, and engineering constraints. They partnered with Trimble and utilized the Trimble Alignment Planning system to manage this highly complex, multi-phase planning and environmental impact study.

The Trimble solution provided a standardized, data-driven platform that enabled planners to efficiently generate, analyze, and refine thousands of corridor alternatives. The use of Trimble Alignment Planning led to a quantifiable and replicable planning process, drastically improved efficiency in testing scenarios, and allowed a single analyst to evaluate new public-proposed alternatives in days instead of months. This provided TxDOT with extensive, consistent data to identify optimal corridors with minimal environmental impact.
