The 4273 Ministry of Transportation Ontario (MTO), Canada, has selected 23 Bentley Systems’ Power InRoads as its new transportation design solution, the first transportation agency worldwide to standardise on the company’s new stand-alone offering. Power InRoads includes the InRoads Suite, the drafting and document production capabilities of MicroStation, Bentley Map functionality, and seamless interoperation with the ProjectWise V8i system of collaboration servers and services, and Bentley Navigator V8i software for dynamic project review.

“Power InRoads will help MTO to have fully integrated drafting and design tools in a single application that is easy to deploy and includes new functionality such as roundabout design, site modeller, advanced visualisation and animation techniques, and integrated map/GIS capability,” says Hanna Hanna, MTO’s head of highway engineering systems

Having previously used InRoads on AutoCAD for 10 years, MTO is well acquainted with the strengths and versatility of InRoads software – the design standard for 26 US departments of transportation and seven ministries of transportation in the Canadian provinces. MTO’s upgrade to Power InRoads propels agency-supported technology beyond traditional layered applications and embraces innovative design flexibility and product integration now driving the future of transportation.

According to Ron Gant, Bentley global marketing director, “Power InRoads is the only product needed for new infrastructure design as well as resurfacing, restoration, and rehabilitation needs. It provides civil and transportation professionals with full access to the depth, breadth, and strength of the InRoads family of products, while allowing those only requiring drafting capabilities to remain on a CAD product.”
