Bentley Unveils InRoads, GEOPAK, MXROAD V8i SELECTseries 1
 CHARLOTTE,
NC, Oct 20, 2009 – 2009 Bentley Roads and Bridges Conference –
Bentley Systems, Incorporated, the leading company dedicated to providing
comprehensive software solutions for the infrastructure that sustains our
world, today announced the availability by year’s end of new 3D information
modeling tools for road rehabilitation work in its InRoads, GEOPAK, and
MXROAD V8i (SELECTseries 1) products. The innovative tools are included in
the software’s Roadway Designer 3D parametric modeling capabilities, which
allow interactive design and review in a synchronized viewing environment.
Unveiled at the recent International Highway Engineering Exchange Program
Conference, the enhanced Roadway Designer empowers engineers to quickly and
cost-effectively respond to road rehabilitation projects funded through the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). These projects, as reported
in the Aug. 12, 2009, issue of Engineering News-Record, represent
approximately 75 percent of the $16.8 billion in ARRA highway funding that
had been obligated as of July 17. Engineering teams doing road and bridge
rehabilitation work can use the new capabilities in Roadway Designer to
facilitate on-time, on-budget project delivery. Moreover, because the new
tools are well suited for projects relying on the newest construction
technologies, teams can take advantage of the workflow efficiencies they
provide even when deploying innovative techniques such as automated machine
guidance.
Ron Gant, Bentley global marketing director, said, “These new information
modeling tools further expand Bentley’s broad range of solutions and
products for sustaining transportation infrastructure, which address the
entire design-build-operate lifecycle. The many advantages our civil
engineering software affords today’s project teams include the ability to
extensively reuse design data during construction, to work efficiently and
collaboratively, and to interface with equipment employing automated machine
control.”
Gant continued, “These advantages reduce construction-site costs, as well
as costs due to engineering change orders, speed time to construction, and
increase profitability. Moreover, they enable project teams to deliver
intelligent infrastructure that, in terms of quality, safety, energy,
lifecycle costing, and operational efficiency, is better performing and more
sustainable.”
The new capabilities in Roadway Designer underscore Bentley’s
long-standing commitment to provide users a recurring stream of development
enhancements further supporting complete and intelligent 3D models.
Specifically, new overlay tools provide smart modeling, which takes into
account existing 3D survey data, maximum/minimum overlay specifications, and
cross slope or super elevation design requirements, while reducing expensive
grinding requirements – to create optimized resurfacing, widening, or
rehabilitation projects. The end result is a complete model that utilizes
existing design and maintenance information.
Additional enhancements in the SELECTseries 1 updates include innovative
data acquisition, geometry, visualization, and clash detection capabilities.
The latter is facilitated by Bentley’s newly introduced i-model, a container
for open infrastructure information exchange. A key characteristic of an i-model
is “provenance”: knowledge of its origin and evolution – its change
management history. More details about the many value additions to Bentley’s
civil engineering SELECTseries 1 products will be forthcoming with the
release of the software later this year.
Professional training on the tools in InRoads and GEOPAK V8i (SELECTseries
1) noted above is being offered this week at the 2009 Bentley Roads and
Bridges Conference.
About 2009 Bentley Roads and Bridges Conference
The 2009 Bentley Roads and Bridges Conference is taking place this week
in Charlotte, N.C., at the Omni Charlotte Hotel. This joint conference for
InRoads and GEOPAK users provides a convenient opportunity for
infrastructure professionals to increase their knowledge of Bentley software
and refine their technical skills. Those who take advantage of this training
earn Bentley Institute Learning Units for each conference workshop attended.
The conference features more than 150 hours of sessions and workshops for
both new and experienced users of InRoads, GEOPAK, LEAP Bridge, RM Bridge,
Haestad Methods, and other Bentley civil engineering software. It also
provides a host of networking opportunities to help attendees gain insight
into cutting-edge engineering functionality and best practices. For
