OpenRail provides a complete solution for rail infrastructure design, allowing engineers to develop highly detailed models of rail corridors, stations, and track systems. Built on Bentley’s advanced modelling technology, OpenRail combines civil design tools with rail-specific functionality to support every phase of rail infrastructure development.
The software enables designers to create accurate track geometry, manage complex corridor layouts, and integrate rail infrastructure with surrounding civil assets. By connecting design data with digital twin technologies, OpenRail improves visibility across project stakeholders and supports better decision-making throughout planning, design, and construction.
Using OpenRail, teams can work more efficiently while ensuring compliance with rail engineering standards and project requirements.
OpenRail supports a wide range of rail infrastructure projects across both urban and intercity transportation systems.
Key applications include:
• Rail corridor design and alignment planning
• Track geometry and rail network modelling
• High-speed rail infrastructure development
• Metro and urban transit system design
• Freight rail network planning
• Station and rail yard design
• Integration of rail systems with surrounding civil infrastructure
• Digital twin workflows for rail lifecycle management
These capabilities allow engineers and planners to design rail systems that are more efficient, safer, and better aligned with long-term infrastructure goals.
