Metrics such as person‑hours traveled, person‑kilometers traveled, multi‑modal level of service calculations, and economic and environmental assessments help planners understand the relative impacts of different scenarios. This supports the development of more effi‑ cient road network systems, which has the potential to reduce energy consumption, local pollutant emissions, delays, and traffic congestion, and improve safety. Case Study: A new Norwegian road authority with an eye on emerging technologies and sophisticated BIM techniques tapped Norconsult and AF Gruppen for the design and con‑ struction of Route E39, a 15‑mile stretch of the 680‑mile Coastal Highway project. Using ® generative design tools, Revit and Dynamo scripts, and the cloud‑based Autodesk Forge viewer, Norconsult was able to visualize data across multiple platforms, reducing mate‑ rials and waste. The road authority attached an ambitious goal to the project: to reduce carbon emissions associated with construction by 20%. Detailed parametric design re‑ duced the amount of concrete needed, enabling a 15% reduction of CO2 emissions for the Trysfjord bridge alone. Focus area: Green manufacturing Approximately 19% of global greenhouse gas emissions are from the manufacturing 6 industry , and by 2050 the growth in population and associated demand for consumer 7 8 goods will require at least twice the energy and materials currently used. These impacts and trends, combined with customer demand for more environmentally friendly products as well as new environmental regulations, are driving manufacturers to commit to sus‑ tainable outcomes in their work. ® The Autodesk Product Design & Manufacturing Collection and our cloud platform support sustainable design in a broad range of areas.
