The Trimble Quantm Alignment Planning System has been used worldwide on hundreds of projects ranging in length from less than 1 km to national transportation links of over 1000 km, in all types of terrain. The Quantm System was developed by the Australian Government’s scientific agency CSIRO over ten years. It is the first technology and methodology (patent pending) to specifically address the complex task of route alignment selection,  supporting road and rail planners and engineers through the complex process of selecting and generating 3D corridors and alignments. Its unique route optimisation technology generates millions of alternative alignments and returns… Read More
