From field to design to construction, InRoads includes the features your road and site design work requires. It offers advanced DTM capability, associative alignments with spirals, user-defined typical sections--including superelevations, independent slope and ditch control, and parametrically driven decision tables. Plans, profiles, cross sections, contour maps or shaded analytical models can be extracted to your standards. With InRoads, you can accomplish a variety of projects, including: roadway design (and renovation), corridor design, landfill and site design.

As an alternative to purchasing traditional software licenses, Bentley's InRoads Portfolio offers a software leasing program that gives you the flexibility you need for your civil project workload.

The InRoads Portfolio includes the following members of the InRoads product family:

• InRoads
• InRoads Site
• InRoads Survey
• InRoads Bridge
• InRoads Storm & Sanitary

These civil engineering tools adapt to your workflow, regardless of the CAD deliverable your project demands. Using the InRoads family of products, you can move freely between MicroStation and AutoCAD platforms using the same civil tools. That means you can exchange data between departments, clients or suppliers without translation issues.

InRoads Bridge
InRoads Bridge simplifies the layout of bridge geometry, helping you define complex bridge geometry or simple span bridges. It provides interactive tools for users to create precise 3D geometric models from which drawings and reports can be extracted.

InRoads Bridge calculates all information from the roadway's geometric and digital terrain models, not from CAD graphics. You can lay out a variety of girder types, including plate girders, with options to configure them as needed. The design may be adjusted to accommodate haunch, curvature, camber and deflections.
Features Include:

• Horizontal bridge geometry
• Vertical bridge geometry
• Substructure layout
• Reports
• Roadway capabilities from InRoads SelectCAD

InRoads Site
InRoads Site provides powerful site design, digital terrain modeling and robust coordinate geometry tools to allow users to generate contours, profiles, cross sections and cut-and-fill volumes.

With InRoads Site, you can quickly lay out a subdivision based on area or frontage and automatically create parcels. You can also manipulate lots to explore different scenarios. Automated setback calculations and right-of-way takes reduce production time for writing legal descriptions of takes and remainders. InRoads Site's digital terrain model lets you easily display contours.

InRoads Survey
InRoads Survey enables users to transfer data from electronic fieldbooks (EFBs) to the MicroStation or AutoCAD environment, reducing time from field to finished drawings with interactive data editing capabilities. It produces plot-ready graphics immediately upon reading the data. Contours can be displayed, surveys adjusted and results visually verified--all before you leave the site.

InRoads Survey's Fieldbook Data Editor helps you interactively edit your raw survey data. You'll see graphics updates immediately, without reprocessing your raw data file. Feature-based survey data and attributes can be captured within your chosen workflow, and feature-based attribution can be used to annotate each feature in your design file automatically.

InRoads Storm & Sanitary
InRoads Storm & Sanitary offers advanced 3D modeling, design and analysis, drawing production and data management capabilities for storm and sanitary networks.

It includes comprehensive tools for surface water collection, transport and disposal to help you determine vital project needs and design effective systems to meet those needs. InRoads Storm & Sanitary also aids in the design and analysis for both hydrology and hydraulic computations.

InRoads Storm & Sanitary allows you to specify depth/diameter ranges and introduce infiltration into the system, so you can design your systems effectively without surcharging conditions.

InRail
InRail is an industry-specific set of rail design, maintenance and manufacturing tools. A member of the InRoads product family, InRail provides industry-leading tools for geometry, site and track design, rail manufacturing, reporting, viewing and annotation to ensure optimal workflow integration with operations and maintenance. Users can quickly place turnouts as geometry from a library of standards or from custom definitions, which can later be moved, edited, reported on and annotated. InRail offers advanced functionality such as Track points, Regression analysis, Slew diagrams, a Track editor and Cant/Superelevation options. InRail is a complete, robust set of tools that is highly adaptable to any rail design, operations or maintenance workflow.

Through the InRail Portfolio, Bentley offers a software leasing program that provides the most complete set of civil engineering tools from the InRoads product family--InRail, InRoads, InRoads Survey, InRoads Site, InRoads Storm & Sanitary and InRoads Bridge; tools that adapt to your workflow, regardless of the CAD deliverable your project demands. Using the InRail Portfolio, you can move freely between MicroStation and AutoCAD platforms using the same civil design tools.

MicroStation Descartes - Continuous-Tone Raster Management
MicroStation Descartes is Bentley's comprehensive solution for image-mapping, visualization and raster-to-vector conversion projects of gray-scaled, bitmap data. Designed for production and visualization, MicroStation Descartes is used worldwide by engineers and planners in several disciplines, such as Cartography, Arial Photogrammetry, Land Surveying, Urban/Land-Use Planning, and Civil/Transportation Design.

Descartes adds high-performance continuous-tone raster operations to the MicroStation CAD environment by allowing users to warp, reference, resample, mosaic and drape raster images within their MicroStation design files. Additionally, Descartes provides tools such as integrated OCR and line following engines, plus several tools to enhance and repair legacy drawings. Offering an API of over 1,700 synchronous key-ins and a fully customizable interface, MicroStation Descartes can be customized to integrate into workflows where automation and interface customization is required.
