EXTON, PA, Feb 9, 2026 – Bentley Systems said the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) is using its Blyncsy solution to support performance-based budgeting for highway maintenance. ALDOT adopted performance-based budgeting approach more than 15 years ago and continues to refine how data drives maintenance funding decisions.
ALDOT has relied on manual inspections and statewide surveys to collect asset condition data across its 11,000 miles of roads. The agency is adding Blyncsy’s automated AI analytics to its process to assess designated roadway assets.
Blyncsy analyzes roadway conditions using dash camera imagery and AI models. The system supports network-wide assessments of assets such as guardrails and signage. Bentley Systems said a prior pilot showed the models reached 97% accuracy, which the company said informed budgeting and financial planning.
“To strengthen our performance-based budgeting, we need consistent, quantified data to produce condition assessments across all districts,” said Morgan Musick, assistant maintenance management engineer at ALDOT. “Bentley’s Blyncsy solution helps us enhance our existing statewide survey by automating certain asset inspections. This technology helps to give us an objective snapshot of our roadway network, enabling us to adjust budgets based on actual asset conditions and ensure funding goes to appropriate maintenance activities in order to better reach a target Level of Service for each asset.”
Mark Pittman, senior director of transportation AI at Bentley Systems, added, “The future of infrastructure asset management depends on making financial decisions based on empirical evidence rather than historical precedent. By integrating AI-powered asset inspection into its performance-based budgeting process, ALDOT is setting a new standard for data-driven infrastructure planning.”
