Description

HEADS Rail is a sophisticated CAD-based software tailored for railway design that utilizes survey data gathered from total stations to generate Digital Terrain Models (DTM) complete with ground contours. In addition to handling satellite imagery, it converts TM (Survey) coordinates into UTM (GPS) coordinates, integrates with Google Earth for planning greenfield alignments, and processes ground elevation data sourced from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) using global mapper, all without the need for field topographic surveys. The software is adept at designing both elevated and underground metro rail sections, accommodating straight and curved alignments based on site conditions. HEADS Rail stands out as a highly advanced tool that effectively manages railway track design and double tracking projects, addressing various design challenges along the route through meticulous alignment geometry, vertical profiles, crossings, and yard layouts. Furthermore, HEADS Rail generates detailed project construction drawings, including plans, profiles, and cross-sections, along with cost estimations to ensure comprehensive project development. This makes HEADS Rail a vital resource for professionals in the railway construction industry.

Description

What used to take hours of manual imagery imports, screenshots, and per-pixel alignment now takes minutes. Plex-Earth pulls satellite and aerial imagery straight into AutoCAD, fully georeferenced, so engineers can skip the guesswork and get to designing. Choose from basemap providers like Google Maps, Google Elevations, Azure, and OpenStreetMap, add custom WMS/WMTS connections, or tap into premium providers such as Nearmap, Vexcel, Hexagon, Airbus, and Vantor. Every mosaic tile is individually georeferenced for precision, a feature unique to Plex-Earth. For terrain, you can generate contours in seconds, run slope and aspect analysis, calculate cut and fill, or bring in GeoTIFFs and premium DTM/DSM data. Two-way KML functionality moves data between AutoCAD and Google Earth without file juggling. Compatible with AutoCAD 2020–2027, Civil 3D, Map 3D, and BricsCAD.
