card_1 has been a market leader since 1985. It’s an innovative, comprehensive CAD software application for surveying and civil engineers focusing particularly on road, rail and sewer planning plus cost calculation and GIS. The interaction between these modules guarantees its BIM-oriented, methodical approach. Modules which particularly support the BIM planning process are marked with BIM. It can be used to plan any road- and rail-based transport infrastructure, to complete any surveying task, including those involving point clouds, to plan the drainage of complex projects and subsequently visualize them. German planning regulations, norms and guidelines are an integral part of the software. As a member of the FGSV (Road and Transportation Research Association), IB&T is involved in developing a common framework for data processing. We are also contributing to buildingSMART e.V.’s objectives. We are also an initiator of the BIM-Traffic Routes specialist group.
