MiTS 2.11 vs MiTS 3.1 Performance Comparison

Table of Contents

Road Modelling

This documentation aims to compare the performance, specifically the speed, between two versions of MiTS: MiTS 2.11 and MiTS 3.1.

The comparison is based on a series of benchmark tasks, commonly performed using MiTS software which is the Road module.

For each task, the time taken for both versions of the software to complete the process was recorded.

Note that this enhancement is on top of the huge project optimization (involving sub-millions of survey points) that we did quite some time ago.

Sample Project File HERE

The project file used for the performance comparison is from one of our benchmark articles, Designing 450 KM Roads with MiTS. The road is drawn across the biggest state in Peninsular Malaysia which is Pahang.

Below is a comparison of the speed performance in our latest MiTS 3 version, MiTS 3.1.17.0, compared to the latest general release of the MiTS 2 version, MiTS 2.11.35.0.
