2026 Rail and transit finalists

Award category criteria

Show how your use of the technology delivered improved outcomes for the organizations involved and the communities served.

What we're looking for

Demonstrate how your use of technology delivered measurable results in the planning, design and engineering of new rail assets, and the maintenance and upgrade of rail and transit networks.

Tools and technology

Submissions should demonstrate use of Bentley applications, independently or combined with other software, across the project lifecycle. Eligible software includes AssetWise, iTwin, OpenBridge, OpenBuildings, OpenRail, OpenRoads, PLAXIS, ProjectWise, MicroStation, and SYNCHRO.

Innovation and differentiation

Show what made your approach stand out. Consider: integrated use of Bentley software across project delivery, strong application of rail engineering principles and standards, and effective use of digital models for design, analysis, drawing production, monitoring, and reporting.

Outcomes and efficiency

Detail how your project improved performance: higher productivity, more sustainable construction methods, greater operational reliability, and digital twin workflows that automated delivery through interoperability, APIs, and integration with BIM or other technologies.

Return on investment

Provide quantified results: cost savings, time savings, resource optimization, and risk management.

Sustainability and resilience

Showcase impact on climate adaptation, disaster preparedness, energy savings, carbon reduction, improved resilience, quality of life, and mitigated risk.

Submission requirements

Include high-quality visuals: images, screenshots, models, simulations, animations, charts, and diagrams. Provide quantitative data where applicable. Show how digital twins and AI advanced project delivery or asset performance.
