Overview

Connected data for modern transportation

Bentley helps transportation teams plan, design, construct, and operate roads, rail, bridges, tunnels, and transit systems using connected engineering and infrastructure data.

  • Reduce subsurface risk

    Integrate geotechnical and subsurface data into transportation workflows to identify risks earlier, reduce redesigns, and improve infrastructure resilience.

  • Accelerate project delivery

    Connect geospatial, subsurface, design, and construction data across teams so transportation projects move faster with fewer coordination issues and delays.

  • Extend asset lifespan

    Use connected operational, monitoring, and reality data to improve maintenance planning, extend infrastructure life, and support safer transportation networks.

FAQS

Bentley is built exclusively for infrastructure. Unlike horizontal platforms that serve every industry, our solutions are engineered specifically for transportation — with workflows, data models, and integrations that reflect how projects actually get delivered. 

Deep capabilities across roads, rail, bridges, and tunnels — connected across the full lifecycle. Bentley links subsurface data, design, construction, and operations so organizations manage assets over time, not just individual project phases. 

Rework usually comes from disconnected data. Bentley brings together surface, subsurface, and existing asset information so teams catch issues earlier, coordinate better, and avoid the costly changes that show up late in construction. 

Subsurface conditions are one of the largest sources of uncertainty and risk. Without a clear understanding of what’s below ground, projects are more likely to encounter unexpected issues. Integrating geotechnical data early helps teams design more accurately and avoid costly surprises. 

GIS and CAD solve parts of the problem. Bentley connects them — along with geotechnical data, construction schedules, asset records, and monitoring feeds — into a single engineering-grade data environment. The result is less time reconciling tools and more time making decisions. 

Yes. Bentley is used by individual project teams and by national transportation agencies managing thousands of assets. The same data infrastructure that supports a single bridge replacement scales to network-wide asset management programs. 

Bentley applies AI across both asset operations and design workflows. On the operations side, Blyncsy uses AI to analyze roadway imagery — automatically detecting potholes, faded markings, and damaged signs — so agencies like the Alabama and Hawaii Departments of Transportation can prioritize maintenance based on actual conditions rather than scheduled surveys.  

On the design side, Bentley Copilot is a context-aware AI assistant embedded in Bentley's engineering applications that guides users through workflows, surfaces relevant project documents, and can make direct changes to models — reducing the manual effort that slows down delivery.
