Infrastructure engineering software company Bentley Systems is partnering with Google to help cities and agencies more rapidly detect and analyse roadway conditions.
It will use Imagery Insights from Google Maps Platform to develop new asset analytics capabilities.
AI and crowdsourced imagery
Unveiled at the Google Cloud Next 2025 event, the new capabilities in Bentley’s Blyncsy product offering, which applies artificial intelligence (AI) to crowdsourced imagery for automated roadway asset detection and inspection, will help infrastructure professionals improve roadway maintenance and support disaster recovery.
Blyncsy is part of Bentley Asset Analytics, a portfolio of products that generate insights into the condition of existing infrastructure assets to optimise their performance.
Bentley and Google announced a strategic partnership in October 2024 to integrate Google’s high-quality geospatial content with Bentley’s infrastructure engineering software to improve the way infrastructure is designed, built, and operated.
The Imagery Insights combination of Google Street View, the Google AI development platform Vertex AI, and Blyncsy will enhance the ability of departments of transportation, and the engineering firms and consultants supporting them, to identify areas of concern and analyse changes in the condition of roadway and transportation assets over time.
