Bentley launches open API for roadway intelligence solution

Infrastructure engineering software company Bentley Systems has announced the introduction of an open API framework for its Blyncsy roadway intelligence solution.

According to Bentley, the new open API will enable third-party developers, users, and businesses to seamlessly integrate with the Blyncsy analytics solution with access to a new self-service portal that will significantly expand the accessibility and utility of the offering.

Smart city initiatives

The open API framework aims to help accelerate innovation and extend the value of Bentley’s Blyncsy analytics solution, enabling businesses to unlock roadway insights and develop a diverse range of applications for smart city initiatives and transportation planning to autonomous vehicle development and fleet management support.

The Blyncsy offering leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and crowdsourced imagery to deliver actionable insights for infrastructure professionals. The solution enables automated detection and analysis of roadway assets and conditions, enhancing maintenance, disaster recovery, and transportation planning.

“We expect our new open API will break down barriers and foster deeper collaborations, drive innovation, and ultimately contribute to safer and more efficient transportation systems worldwide”

“Bentley Systems is committed to accelerating innovation within the transportation technology ecosystem and making data-driven insights more accessible and easily integrated for a broader audience,” said Mark Pittman, senior director of transportation AI at Bentley.

“We expect our new open API will break down barriers and foster deeper collaborations, drive innovation, and ultimately contribute to safer and more efficient transportation systems worldwide.”

The open API will provide access to the crowdsourced dash camera imagery, including new pedestrian and bicyclist detection models, along with existing features such as roadway debris and vegetation detection. Additional roadway detections are planned for launch in 2025.
