NEXUS is the premier intersection design solution for new construction and rehabilitation projects offering vehicle operations, geometric design, and safety performances together in one comprehensive package.

THE FUTURE OF INTERSECTION DESIGN IS HERE
Transoft Solutions developed NEXUS to give engineers a software tool that greatly assists in the creation of intersection geometrics and channelization details based on operational needs and vehicle swept path. With the patent pending Vehicle Envelope Method of design, NEXUS incorporates all the key elements in the intersection design process including design vehicles, capacity conditions, sight lines, conflict points, and conceptual grading – providing instant feedback so engineers can quickly and easily produce highly effective and safety oriented intersection layouts.

INTUITIVE SOLUTION FOR INTERSECTIONS
As each design component is related and interdependent on each other, NEXUS allows the engineer to evaluate and monitor the performance of the entire intersection design as changes are made. The key benefit to the user is the speed of generating the geometry and surface drainage in a single and efficient tool. In addition, the extensive editing functions make design refinements quickly and easily.

COME TOGETHER WITH PRODUCTIVITY
Focus group research showed a 65% savings in overall design costs when using NEXUS. NEXUS allows for the design and evaluation of many intersection concepts in a fraction of the time compared to traditional or manual computer-aided drafting. What used to take hours or days can be done in a fraction of the time with NEXUS.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• Generate intersection layouts with pavement markings and edges using methods including: defining the lane configuration; importing capacity data; selecting a predefined leg template; or using an intersection template.
• Edit and refine the basic intersection design right from the initial layout. Make changes to the alignments of legs, lanes, and lane configurations as you design.

• Initialize a design based on capacity data by updating the intersection from capacity conditions imported from HCS (Highway Capacity Software) data or other manually inputted information from other traffic analysis software.
• Configure corner geometry types for Arc, Biarc, and Triarc. Entry and Exit Tapers can be added to any of these types.
• Assess the impact of sight lines on an intersection for right-of-way or landscaping based on sight triangles, checking left turn on major streets, and at critical points.
• Determine the different conflict points in an intersection where vehicle paths cross, merge, and even diverge. From the conflict point diagram, see where potential accidents can occur to assess the safety performance of the intersection.
• Develop a grading model and establish the drainage pattern in 3D even in base CAD applications. Vertical profiles provide immediate feedback on cross slopes and alignment slopes.
• Evaluate vehicle movements by displaying AutoTURN compatible design and checking vehicle simulations within a NEXUS intersection.
