Bentley Systems has released Bentley Rail Track Selectseries 4, its rail design and maintenance application that leverages the same civil design modelling technology underpinning OpenRoads applications.

“The program helps advance rail design, construction, and operations through the use of industry-leading civil design modelling innovations including immersive modelling, design intent capture and persistence, hypermodelling, information mobility across engineering disciplines and project phases, and construction-driven engineering,” says a spokesman for the US-based software specialist.

The key features of Bentley Rail Track include:

• The ability to incorporate data from almost any source and link with any design object;

• Vigorous rail geometry for preliminary, detailed, and maintenance design;

• Extensive functionality for yard layout with turnout and switch placement and regression and slew analysis for maintenance design;

• Plan, profile, and cross-section workflows with 3D modelling to accelerate design tasks;

• Parametric design features that incorporate rules, relationships, and constraints into modelling workflows;

• Robust subsurface utility design and analysis for hydraulic and hydrology work;

• Constraint-driven templates;

• Context-sensitive, intuitive interface; and

• Dynamic modeller for on-the-fly visualisation.

The new version of Bentley Rail Track also seamlessly integrates with Bentley Subsurface Utility Engineering to provide automated 3D modelling of subsurface utilities. The software also integrates with StormCAD, CivilStorm, SewerCAD, and SewerGems to enable efficient hydraulic and hydrology design in rail projects. Combining these innovative capabilities with the already robust rail geometry of Bentley Rail Track results in ideal software for rail professionals.

The software was used in the implementation of the Adelaide Railway Upgrade project in Australia. Dylan Tate, an engineer with Rhomberg Rail, comments: “Bentley’s Rail-Track functionality enabled our designers the capability and freedom to effectively produce extensive, complex track solutions in an efficient and timely manner, beneficial to the upgrade.”
