Bentley Systems, Incorporated announced the acquisition of Blyncsy, a provider of artificial intelligence services for departments of transportation (DoT) to support operations and maintenance activities. The digital twin ecosystem focus of Bentley’s iTwin 
Ventures portfolio is bolstered by accelerating the development and propagation of such broadly valuable infrastructure asset analytics.
Founded in 2014 in Salt Lake City, Utah, by CEO Mark Pittman, Blyncsy applies computer vision and artificial intelligence in analyzing commonly available imagery to identify maintenance issues on roadway networks. Pittman originally conceived the idea for the company while stuck at a traffic light, believing there had to be ways to combine “real-time” condition data and innovative technologies to help DoTs become more efficient.
Blyncsy’s disruptive AI services replace costly and slow manual data collection efforts, reducing the need for personnel or specialized vehicles or hardware in the field and improving transportation owner-operators’ awareness and timely mitigation of road conditions. Blyncsy detects over 50 different roadway safety issues, including the actual location of active construction work zones.
Blyncsy will adopt Bentley’s iTwin Platform for immersive integration with infrastructure owners’ engineering and simulation models, and Bentley will incorporate and bring to market Blyncsy’s AI services within its emerging mobility digital twin offerings.
Ralph Rio, ARC Advisory Group, commented, "Blyncsy has applied AI to identify substantive issues in existing infrastructure. When combined with Bentley's iTwins, the workflow has a direct path to a repair."
