OpenRoads
By integrating powerful design tools with BIM workflows and collaboration capabilities, OpenRoads helps engineers and planners deliver safer, more efficient, and sustainable roadway projects. It is a go-to solution for infrastructure development teams aiming for precision and innovation in transportation engineering.
OpenRoads by Bentley Systems is a comprehensive suite of civil engineering software designed for planning, designing, and managing roadway infrastructure projects. It is widely used by transportation engineers, planners, and designers to deliver complex projects such as highways, interchanges, and urban road networks. OpenRoads integrates 3D modeling, visualization, and analysis capabilities with robust collaboration tools, making it a powerful tool for modern infrastructure design.
Advanced 3D Modeling
OpenRoads enables the creation of detailed, parametric 3D models of roadways, including alignments, profiles, and cross-sections. These models provide accurate geometry and visual representation for the entire lifecycle of the project.
BIM for Infrastructure
The software supports Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows, allowing for data-rich designs that include geometry, materials, and construction details. This facilitates collaboration among project stakeholders and enhances decision-making.
Survey and Terrain Modeling
OpenRoads includes tools for processing survey data and creating terrain models, ensuring accurate representation of site conditions. It supports various survey formats and automates the creation of topographic maps and surfaces.
Corridor Design and Analysis
Engineers can design and analyze road corridors using dynamic modeling tools that automatically adjust designs based on changes to geometry or constraints. This ensures efficiency and consistency throughout the design process.
Drainage and Utility Design
OpenRoads integrates tools for designing drainage systems and underground utilities, allowing engineers to incorporate hydrology and hydraulics analysis directly into roadway models.
Interoperability and Collaboration:
OpenRoads supports a wide range of file formats (such as DWG, DGN, and LandXML) and integrates with other Bentley products like OpenBridge and ProjectWise. This interoperability streamlines collaboration across disciplines and project teams.
Visualization and Simulation
With high-quality rendering capabilities, OpenRoads allows users to create realistic visualizations and animations of roadway designs. These visuals help stakeholders understand the project’s impact and appearance before construction.
Construction Documentation
OpenRoads automates the generation of construction drawings, quantities, and reports, reducing errors and improving efficiency in project delivery.
