Bentley Systems has unveiled an open API framework for its Blyncsy roadway intelligence solution aimed at enhancing accessibility and utility for third-party developers, businesses, and users, and facilitating the integration of Blyncsy analytics into various applications.
The new open API is designed to accelerate innovation and extend the value of Bentley’s Blyncsy solution, allowing organisations to unlock roadway insights essential for smart city initiatives, transportation planning, and autonomous vehicle development.
Leveraging AI and crowdsourced imagery, the Blyncsy offering delivers actionable insights that assist infrastructure professionals in the automated detection and analysis of roadway assets and conditions. This capability significantly improves maintenance, disaster recovery, and transportation planning processes.
The open API provides access to a wealth of data, including crowdsourced dash camera imagery featuring pedestrian and bicyclist detection models, along with existing features such as roadway debris and vegetation detection. Additional detection capabilities are expected to be launched later in 2025.
This self-service portal allows users to easily manage access and utilise Blyncsy offerings tailored to their specific needs. Key features include:
- Integration of Blyncsy data directly into existing applications and platforms.
- Access to comprehensive contextual information regarding roadways, including asset identification and roadway conditions.
- Streamlined capabilities for developers and organisations to manage their data usage efficiently.
“We expect our new open API will break down barriers and foster deeper collaborations, driving innovation and contributing to safer and more efficient transportation systems worldwide,” said Mark Pittman, Senior Director of Transportation AI at Bentley.
As cities increasingly prioritise smart solutions, Bentley's open API initiative is poised to play a crucial role in enhancing the transportation technology ecosystem, making data-driven insights more accessible and integrated for a wider audience.
