Bentley Systems has revealed that AI, digital twins, and data-driven technologies are transforming how infrastructure is planned, built, and maintained as governments face growing climate challenges and aging assets.

The company highlights how its digital twin, AI, collaborative modeling, and subsurface modeling technologies allow engineers to test designs, improve collaboration, monitor infrastructure in real time, and predict maintenance needs before failures occur.

These capabilities help create safer, more resilient, and more efficient infrastructure while reducing costs and improving long-term asset management.

Bentley also showcased the French city of Pau, where a city-wide digital twin helped residents visualize development projects and support smarter urban planning.

The company says combining AI, open data, and digital twins will play a key role in building more sustainable and resilient infrastructure worldwide.

Otto Lynch, Vice President and Head of Power Line Systems at Bentley, delivers the opening remarks for the energy panel at the unveiling of the ASCE Report Card in Washington, D.C. He is joined by fellow panelists Aftab Khan (PJM Interconnection), Adrien Ford (Constellation), and Michael Miller (Exo).

As Vienna’s population continues to surge and tourism hits record-breaking highs, the Austrian capital is looking downward to secure its future. The city is currently boring a brand-new metro line through some of the trickiest, most varied geological terrain in Europe—guided by an innovative 3D subsurface model that began, fittingly, on a rooftop. A Legacy […]

Engineers have developed a methodology using PLAXIS 2D to simulate tunnels built with the Traditional Method of Madrid (TMM), offering a faster alternative to complex three-dimensional analyses. Used in the Madrid Metro since 1917, the TMM divides tunnel excavation into small sections, typically less than 5 square meters. Each section is temporarily supported with timber […]

Mumbai’s Versova-Bandra Sea Link (VBSL), a 17.17-kilometer, eight-lane bridge set to become India’s second-longest, is being built with the help of digital project management software designed to keep a hugely complex construction effort organized and on schedule. Once finished, the bridge will connect Versova to Bandra and is expected to cut commute times sharply for […]

Automated Calibration Streamlines Travel Demand Modeling

16 October 2026

Automated calibration is helping transportation planners make travel demand modeling faster, more efficient and responsive to changing travel patterns. Traditionally, calibrating travel demand models required months of manual adjustments to ensure model results matched real-world data such as traffic counts, transit ridership and household travel surveys. Automated calibration simplifies the process by using optimization algorithms […]
