The professional CAD software CARD/1 provides unique features when working on projects: surveying, planning routes, railway planning, waterway planning, sewer networks ect.

Top Features:
• Track routing, using horizontal and vertical alignment as well as cross-section data with all transition curves (also available now: routing, where the centroid is specifically taken into account as used by the Austrian Federal Railways ÖBB with its "Viennese Curve/Wiener Bogen")
• Vehicle-dynamics checks during the design phase
• Switch library with automatic switch calculation
• Automatic optimization of existing routes based on horizontal and vertical alignment data from measured track points; automatic generation of alignment displacement plans
• Volumetric calculations, calculation according to REB, earth volume distribution diagrams, digital terrain model
• Automatic generation of finished plans and drawings, the symbols and annotations conforming with guidelines and technical specifications and the rail-specific font type
• Route plans, switch elevation plans as well as other plans required when designing track routes
• Route simulation for virtual journeys on the designed routes
• Data exchange with VERM.ESN, GND-Edit, Microstation (DGN), AutoCAD (DXF/DWG) and other specialist applications or GIS systems.
• Network adjustment officially certified by the Federal German Railways
CARD/1 has been the leading software system for railway planning since 1992. According to a current market analysis, 80% of all routes of the Federal German Railways and similar regional networks are planned using CARD/1.
