Ramboll, ORIS Materials Intelligence and Autodesk have combined to develop a platform focused on delivering full lifecycle carbon emissions measurement and reduction in the roads sector.
ORIS will integrate Ramboll’s FuelSave solution into its platform as part of the collaboration. This will create a digital assessment model that addresses the entire lifecycle of road projects, from construction to traffic emissions. In turn, Ramboll will adopt ORIS globally, gradually replacing its own tool ZeroInfra.
FuelSave is a web-based software, invented and developed by Ramboll RST (Road Survey Technology), that enables a sustainability assessment of early road planning and detailed design work. The application predicts energy use and CO2 emissions by combining road design with road conditions and forecasts on traffic, as well as inputs on vehicle fuel types and energy sources.
FuelSave calculates the predicted traffic emissions, fuel consumption and fuel costs for multiple design options in a lifecycle perspective, and enables simulations for different traffic forecasts and compares all alternatives to inform more sustainable design decisions.
ORIS Materials Intelligence is a web-based software that provides early assessment in the design and construction phase to reduce costs, carbon emissions and natural resource usage while improving road safety and climate resilience.
By incorporating FuelSave technology into the ORIS platform, the partnership aims to provide the roads sector with a holistic platform for assessing, mitigating and reducing carbon emissions associated with the entire lifecycle of road construction and operations (from embodied material carbon emissions to transportation and traffic-related emissions).
Autodesk is supporting the continued development of the ORIS plugin to Autodesk Civil 3D.
