Its great when I can have some time with some developers as some good ideas come together.
The guys at Savoy Computing and TRL with Arcady, put together a very cool 2D roundabout tool in recent months.
After spending some time with them, we now have it Civil 3D enabled where it is pushing out Civil 3D Alignment objects for the channels, ICD and even those 2/3 crownlines.
With a little conceptual design surface underneath, we can now make a full corridor model linked to the roundabout design and traffic analysis and get real time updates. Once decided on the layout a few tweaks to the profiles and you have it all fully detailed and ready to build!
Enjoy this video that Savoy has put together.

Would this be difficult to set up if I had these other software componenets (ARCADY and AutoTrack) i.e, how much customization was used to make this possible?

This was all enabled through AutoTRACK working on Civil 3D. Their Junction/Intersection module of AutoTRACK connects direct through to Arcady and links everything together.
The AutoTRACK roundabout is creating the Civil 3D alignments dynamically from the data and the Civil 3D corridor model reacts to the changes that are taking place.
Really simple!
