US-based infrastructure engineering software company Bentley Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: BSY) has acquired Canadian multimodal transportation planning, traffic simulation, and mobility visualization software provider INRO Software, the company said.

The acquisition expands Bentley's capabilities in the important growth area of mobility digital twins, just as countries including the US are poised to make a generational investment in infrastructure, and as transportation systems must evolve faster to accommodate both urbanization and carbon reduction goals, and the transition to electric and autonomous vehicles.

INRO, based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, has for more than 40 years contributed to the advancement of mobility simulation and modeling for metropolitan, regional, and national transport and transit operators and planning agencies.

Users of its multimodal simulation offerings include some of the world's busiest transit systems and metros, such as Transport for London, Transport for New South Wales, the Washington State Department of Transportation, the Swedish Transport Administration Trafikverket, and the public transport system of SÃ[pounds sterling]o Paulo SPTrans.

INRO's products include Emme, a multimodal transportation planning system for urban, regional, and national transportation forecasting; Dynameq, a vehicle-based traffic simulation platform for city-wide traffic planning; and CityPhi, a mobility visualization solution providing data visualization and visual analytics of large-scale mobility and geospatial datasets.

Combining the capabilities of INRO's advanced traffic and vehicle simulation with Bentley's...
