HERE and Bentley Systems partner for improved infrastructure planning

HERE Technologies, the leading location data and technology platform, has announced the availability of a solution that makes it easier for US departments of transportation (DOTs) to conduct fixed asset management activities, plan capital investments, and deliver infrastructure performance assessments according to federal regulations.

HERE data sources, including HERE map, light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data, and street level imagery, are now accessible within Bentley Systems’ Orbit, an on-premises application or cloud service for managing, analyzing and sharing reality meshes, extremely large point clouds, imagery, and traditional GIS data. Now, state and city DOTs can quickly build digital twins, which are highly accurate 3D representations of their physical realities, without the time and cost required to acquire the LiDAR and street-level imagery themselves.

HERE LiDAR data enables agencies to identify and locate fixed assets with high geospatial accuracy, as well as measure, extract, and report on those features. HERE captures the world’s road networks and urban environments with its fleet of LiDAR and 360° camera-equipped vehicles.

With HERE data accessible within Bentley’s Orbit, DOTs can efficiently conduct the following:

  • Fixed asset management: locate, manage, and maintain fixed assets along the road network.
  • Federal compliance: report inventory on all roads as required under the US DOT’s Highway Performance Monitoring System.
  • Maintenance and state of good repair: identify, catalogue, and prioritize local infrastructure hazards and improvements.
  • ADA compliance: verify that the slope and clearance of sidewalks, curb ramps, and pedestrian paths are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
  • Traffic engineering and operations: develop models of intersections for safety studies and crash reports with full geospatial context.
  • Surface transportation planning: combine aerial data to assess road conditions and preliminary designs.
