Rail Design
What is rail design software?
Redefine how rail and transit infrastructure is designed, built, and operated with multidiscipline data exchange and handover to support construction through maintenance with Bentley’s rail software.
What is the best rail design software?
With Bentley’s best-selling rail design software, you can improve workflows, optimize project delivery, and improve overall service, safety, and reliability. Take your first step to preventing failures and unplanned downtime, with Bentley.
Create conceptual track design including rail geometry, electrification, tunnels, and bridge design to evaluate more options, identify high-risk items, and minimize cost.
Streamline project delivery and design of rail network assets from concept through commissioning and completion.
BIM for rail electrification. Deliver 3D to overhead line catenary systems, and foster the development of digital twins.
Model, simulate, detail, and document tunnel projects fully interoperable with analysis and design.
"Bentley's applications translate into inevitable efficiency in the design phase, as well as significant savings in time for review and coordination between disciplines."
Daniela Aprea, BIM Manager, Italferr S.p.A.
