5956 Yotta DCL is currently working with the UK’s Rutland County Council using its Horizons visualised asset management software, highway condition and asset inventory surveys, and technical support.

The Horizons web-based software provides Rutland with a comprehensive model of the County’s highway network, enabling the highways team to gain full visibility of all survey data and high-resolution video imagery for developing maintenance schemes and work programmes.
 
The service covers the provision of Horizons software and training, traffic speed condition surveying and six-camera asset video capture to provide a digital view of Rutland’s 550 plus kilometre highway network and associated asset inventory. Yotta DCL will also extract asset inventory data for classified, some unclassified roads and footways.
 
“The package of surveys and new software from Yotta DCL will revolutionise how we manage and maintain our network. We have very little existing digitised network information and when Yotta DCL has completed its surveying work, we’ll have a current and accurate view of our assets.” said Neil Tomlinson, contract and maintenance engineer, Rutland County Council.

    Citizen reporting offers the potential of gathering timely information about road conditions without the need to invest heavily in equipment or to dispatch inordinate numbers of staff to visit and report from various locations. What could be better than an army of motorists and other road users sending in reports of conditions they encounter on their journeys? Back in 2003, Wyoming DOT set up a system of enhanced citizen-assisted reporting as a way of gathering weather-related information on road conditi

    Traffic management centres (TMC) have traditionally served to provide surveillance and responses to traffic incidents and recurring and non-recurring changes in road networks. Typically, a TMC collected field data from the roadway and transit infrastructure and provided the integration necessary for operators to see what was happening and then coordinate a response. Standard operating procedures (SOPs) guided operators on how to respond to a given situation. It eventually became impractical for TMC operat

The competitively procured US$54.6 million project will see 90 miles of existing high occupancy vehicle (HOV) converted lanes into express lanes on I-680, I-880 and I-80. The aim is to improve connectivity by closing gaps in the existing HOV network and improve freeway efficiency by making the best use
