Bentley Systems has introduced OpenRoads Designer 2026, the latest version of its road design software, designed to help engineers deliver transportation projects faster, more accurately, and with greater reliability.

The software supports engineers in designing road alignments, terrain models, corridors, grading, drainage systems, and construction documentation for major infrastructure projects.

With large events increasing demand for better roads and transportation networks, OpenRoads Designer helps teams manage complex designs while reducing errors and improving efficiency.

The 2026 version introduces new tools, including faster terrain setup through Cesium World Terrain import, improved alignment management, enhanced line-of-sight analysis, and more reliable design file validation. Bentley Copilot, an AI-powered assistant, also provides engineers with real-time guidance inside the software, helping users solve problems and improve productivity.

OpenRoads Designer 2026 includes more than 300 improvements across key workflows, strengthening performance in areas such as geometry, terrain, drainage, and data management.

Combined with previous innovations like AI-powered annotation tools, Google Maps, and 3D integration, and civil file health monitoring, Bentley’s technology helps engineering teams create safer, smarter, and more efficient transportation infrastructure.

31 October 2026

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 […]

24 October 2026

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 […]
