Jumpstart Road Projects with Fast and Easy Conceptual Design
Conceptualize and analyze design options for roads and highways in hours, not days.
What is OpenRoads ConceptStation?
OpenRoads ConceptStation enables you to create conceptual road and bridge designs to evaluate more options during the planning and pre-bid stage of your project. You can design more efficiently, identify high-risk items, and minimize costs. Easily visualize and analyze real-world traffic patterns leveraging design-time visualization with 3D modeling and traffic analysis, as OpenRoads ConceptStation provides interoperability with VISSIM.
- Accelerate Data Collection
Assemble contextual data rapidly from a variety of sources, such as point clouds, 3D reality meshes, terrain data, images, and geospatial information, to bring real-world settings to your project. - Simplify 3D Modeling
Draw roads, ramps, bridges, guardrails, and streetlights in hours, not days, using engineering-friendly drawing capabilities. - Understand Financial Implications Early
Generate project estimates that dynamically update as design modifications are made. Identifying potential risk early to produce better, more cost-effective design options.
- Incorporate Contextual Information

FAQs
OpenRoads ConceptStation is a road network conceptual design software. It allows you to rapidly create conceptual designs during the preliminary and planning stages of your infrastructure projects.
The price of OpenRoads Designer varies per region. While there are various types of licensing available, a common choice is the 12-month practitioner license offered through Virtuosity, Bentley’s eCommerce store. When you purchase through Virtuosity, you get a Virtuoso Subscription. This means you get the software and “Keys” (tokens) to redeem for customizable training, mentoring, and consulting services.
