Road Optimization – 30% Cheaper and Design Twice as Fast? How a Computer Found the Best Route

Imagine being able to redesign a road so that it costs less to build, fits the terrain better, and is more environmentally friendly. Sounds like science fiction? Not anymore! In my master's thesis, I decided to test how modern tools – including the program Infraspace – handle the optimization of road alignments. The result? Up to 30% savings and some surprising conclusions that may interest every road engineer.
