ORIS and Ramboll combine for road infrastructure advanced carbon lifecycle analysis

ORIS Materials Intelligence and Ramboll have announced a ground breaking partnership focused on enhancing carbon emissions measurement and reduction in the road infrastructure sector.

ORIS will integrate Ramboll’s FuelSave solution into its platform as part of this collaboration. This will create a comprehensive digital assessment model that addresses the entire lifecycle of road projects, from construction to traffic emissions.

Ramboll will adopt ORIS across its global teams to provide a unified platform for sustainability assessment in the road infrastructure sector as part of the agreement. It will gradually replace its internal tool, ZeroInfra. 

FuelSave is a web-based software, invented and developed by Ramboll Road Survey Technology (RST), that enables a unique 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 life cycle 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 enabling sustainable road infrastructure with a solution which 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, this partnership will provide the road infrastructure sector with a holistic and user-friendly platform for assessing, mitigating, and reducing carbon emissions associated with the entire lifecycle of road construction and operations (from material embodied carbon emissions to transportation and traffic-related emissions).
