Roads & Bridges

Turn Data Into Insights
Connect the physical and virtual world to better plan, design, construct and operate road networks.

Accelerate Planning To Operations

Digital delivery benefits your road or bridge project from planning, design, construction, and operations. Make better decisions, gain insights, increase collaboration, improve asset performance, and achieve better business outcomes.

Accelerate Planning Through Construction

Digital delivery improves design efficiency with a complete representation of the design intent. Optimize collaboration and coordination with your stakeholders and citizens, assess and understand existing conditions, and understand the financial impact.

Advance Construction Management

Easily plan and manage your people, materials, and equipment. Visualize live construction information to track project performance and make data-driven decisions. Enable first-time-right construction, manage project schedule vs performance and reduce on-site visits.

Rehabilitate & Preserve Aging Infrastructure

Take on the huge task of rehabilitating or repairing roads and bridges. It’s time to adopt innovative digital twin technology to make inspections faster, easier, and safer. Ensure regulatory compliance, lower operational costs, and reduce asset downtime.

Planning

Road And Bridge Planning

Digital delivery technology will help you communicate project plans to stakeholders and citizens in a comprehensive and visually compelling way to enable faster buy-in on projects. Manage and mitigate your project risk, optimize collaboration and coordination, assess existing conditions and understand financial impact.

Automatically Create Digital Context For Digital Twins

Use photographs and/or point clouds to cost-effectively produce 3D models of the most challenging existing site conditions for your road or bridge project.

Manage, Extract, And Share 3D Mapping Data

You can share vast amounts of imagery, point cloud, and 3D mapping data to improve collaboration and get the best performance from reality modeling and digital twins.

Develop Predictive Simulation Models

Know the impact before implementation and make better decisions the first time. You can collaborate with other departments to identify and correct errors early in the planning process.

Design

Road And Bridge Design

Streamline design and collaboration, ensure effective project delivery, and enable informed decision-making. Enhance designs, improve productivity, avoid time and cost delays and overruns, and reduce project time to delivery.

Modeling, Design, And Analysis

Connect with your team through an open environment that supports modeling, design, and analysis of road networks and bridges from conceptual design to detailed design. You can simulate design options, evaluate project impact, and reduce risk, project costs, and delays.

Multidiscipline Design

Advance the efficiency of your multidiscipline teams for the design and engineering of roads, bridges, drainage, and other civil infrastructure aboveground and belowground. Increase adherence to standards through design, maintenance, and retrofit of capital projects. Seamlessly integrate your supply chain with your in-house team and work as one.

Digital Delivery

Improve your design quality and enable contractors to benefit from a more complete representation of the design. Make it easier to review the design intent with high‐resolution 3D design visuals. Reduce project cost over‐runs and test what-if scenarios to refine constructability and optimize project cost.

Construction

Road And Bridge Construction

Leverage a collaborative environment that allows your in-house team to work with your supply chain partners as one integrated team. Manage your multidiscipline design and construction work, in the office and in the field. Manage your contracts and your deliverables. Ensure the integrity of your data and make every project your best project.

Improve Construction Planning

Resolve roadway construction issues before they cost you time and money in the field. Manage project schedule vs. performance, reduce on-site visits, and monitor and track progress.

Enable Collaboration For Better Results

Advance coordination with supply chain and stakeholders to reduce the risk of delays. Improve safety and enable first-time-right construction. Close communication gaps between the field and office with shared access to site reports, issues, and safety observations to speed decisions.

Operations

Road And Bridge Operations

Improve asset and network performance to deliver safe, reliable, compliant, and cost-effective service.

Make Bridge Inspections Faster, Easier, And Safer

Quickly capture, analyze, and manage data in the field or from the office, helping you improve the decisions made while meeting regulatory reporting requirements and ensuring safe and reliable infrastructure assets.

Manage Complex Linear Road Network Information

Drive data consistency, optimize resources and reduce costs. Use data to improve decision-making and streamline operations. Ensure timely and accurate highway performance monitoring system submissions. 

Analyze Oversize/Overweight Vehicles In Real-Time

Ensure safe travel of permitted vehicles using routes validated against restrictions and live bridge ratings. Improve reliability and accuracy of routing information and comply with transportation rules and regulations.

Operations Solutions & Recommended Software

Bentley offers planning solutions for road and bridges that span from conceptual road network layout and design through traffic simulation and planning.

BRIDGE MONITORING AND INSPECTION

Enables rapid capture, analysis, and management of bridge data in the field or from the office, to improve decisions and ensure safe and reliable infrastructure assets.
