Bentley Systems builds digital twins with accurate street-level data

Discover how infrastructure engineering uses HERE location data to manage, design and construct assets remotely.

Challenge

Obtaining detailed, accurate and fresh street-level data for building digital twins

Collecting, managing and updating data for infrastructure projects can be a real challenge. Engineers spend an estimated 35% of their time searching for critical data that affects planning and delivery. Another difficult part of infrastructure planning is resource utilization, as it involves balancing multiple constraints related to cost, time, and quality.

Solution

HERE delivered thousands of kilometers of up-to-date Lidar data

Using HERE Lidar Data, Bentley Systems built digital twins that enabled visualization and collaboration in one place by layering thousands of kilometers of up-to-date lidar data on top of their digital twins. Bentley customers can also add their own layers of data to the digital twin and order bespoke datasets from HERE or other providers.

Impact

Safer, faster and more efficient infrastructure planning

Reduced costs by 30%

Bentley collects, manages and updates data assets more efficiently, reducing the cost of asset maintenance for teams working both on-site and remotely by an estimated 30%.

15% - 20% fewer road closures

By identifying assets and their condition with fewer site visits, Bentley Systems achieved a decrease in the number of road closures by 15%-20% and minimized economic and societal disruptions.

Improved safety

Protect crew safety by avoiding dangerous site visits. Orbit GT 3DM can also help reduce risk and litigation on construction projects as it makes liability clearer from the start.

The next generation of route planning

See how HERE helped Leogistics solve its yard management and route planning challenges.

Our expectation from a continued partnership with HERE is that we don't need to do anything about location data at all...We can just present it by doing look-ups directly on the HERE platform.

The future of digital twins

Bentley Systems uses location technology to manage, design and construct assets remotely.

HERE removes the barriers that our customers have been grappling with for the last four to five years. It has taken away the hard part of the equation.
