Trimble Quantm desktop From Vision to Viability

TRIMbLe QUANTM DeSkTopTrimble® Quantm® Desktop supports road and rail planners and engineers through the complex process of selecting and generating 3D corridors and alignments. Quantm’s unique route optimization technology generates millions of alternative alignments and returns a range of 5-20 best options for review by various stakeholders. Trimble Quantm Desktop software leverages technology researched, developed and refined on over 12,427 miles (20,000 kilometers) of major infrastructure projects worldwide.

The software enables planners and engineers to reduce project planning time, increase productivity, and deliver improved alignments that meet environmental, heritage, urban constraints, and design standards set by each project. It is designed for local and regional projects in study areas of up to 12 miles (20 kilometers) in length.

pRoVeN beNeFITSCommunities globally are increasing the influence they have over where new roads and railways are created. The combination of community input and the need to avoid certain urban areas, cultural heritage zones and areas of environmental sensitivity have made the planning process extremely complex. This is true not only for the initial alignment location, but also during construction if sensitive areas are identified during construction and alternatives must be quickly identified.

Trimble Quantm Desktop offers the following benefits during the planning and design process:

• Reducedprojectplanningtimeanddelays• Betterproductivity-morealignmentalternativescanbeexploredina shorter amount of time• Increasedconfidenceinalignmentvalidityandconformance• Affordablesolutionforsmallerprojectsandorganizations

SCALAbLe SoLUTIoNSTrimble Quantm Desktop Premium and Trimble Quantm Desktop suit the needs of the companies involved in the full planning process, or engineers wanting to refine and balance earthworks on an alignment that has a fixed horizontal corridor respectively. Quantm Enterprise and Quantm Professional are offered for longer projects or where Trimble optimization expertise is required.

The Desktop Premium edition generates outputs to support public presentationthroughNEPAorotherplanningprocesses.Thefinalapprovedalignments can be easily exported using a range of industry standard formats fordetaileddesign.BothDesktopandDesktopPremiumcanimportupdatedenvironmental data during the planning process from Trimble’s range of GIS data collection products. The models can be transferred to Trimble solutions for corridor flight planning, ground survey, construction staking and earthmoving.

QUANTM DeSkTop pReMIUMDesktop Premium can be applied at every step of the planning process from initial scoping through feasibility and value engineering. Desktop Premium performs corridor identification, and full horizontal and vertical alignment optimization. It considers environmental, social, geological, engineering, and construction constraints to provide an optimal alignment for detailed design

Case studies have shown the software can provide a reduction in project planning time and a 5-15% reduction in construction cost for projects

QUANTM DeSkTop Quantm Desktop offers vertical optimization only. It is intended for engineers and contractors to refine the vertical geometry and earthworks of alignments that lie within a defined corridor with final or fixed horizontal geometry. Quantm Desktop optimizes the vertical geometry to minimize costs based on barriers to construction, dump locations and borrow locations.
