For the 3rd time in 3 years, RouteMapper has completed a commission for CarillionWSP. The commission was to complete spatial video for Highways Agency Area 8 MAC. This included routes in Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Essex, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire.

All of the pavement surfaces and general highway conditions are clearly and unequivocally visible, giving CarillionWSP the visual record that they require to have the ability to assess current conditions.

The network length to survey was 716km, consisting of single lane one/two carriageway, dual carriageway and motorway sections in both directions.

Due to the high volumes of work being awarded to RouteMapper, we have taken the step of commissioning another vehicle! The new van will be kitted out with all of the high-tech equipment that we have in the existing vehicles to enable the van and operator to complete surveys to the high standards that are expected of RouteMapper.

As our workload increases, we need to ensure that we have enough staff to ensure that client requirements are met efficiently.  In light of this, we have a new member of staff joining us in March. Lucy Walker will work alongside Kamila on the processing of data using her GIS expertise.

Once again, RouteMapper are to exhibit at the Highway Asset Management Conference.  It will take place on 26th January 2010 at One Great George Street in London.

We will be displaying our RouteMapper Video Surveying System.  This is a crucial system for ensuring that our existing road networks are efficiently managed.  By using Spatially Encoded Video Systems, we can ensure that the operating costs are reduced whilst improving the safety of your staff.

Come and see us at stand 6 to get more information on our services.

6th Highway Asset Management Conference, One Great George Street, London, 26th January 2010

We hope to see you there.

Here at RouteMapper, we are almost ready to launch new versions of our software solutions. Both the desktop and internet version have had a great deal of work done on them to make them more user friendly, faster, and above all, better than previous versions.

Whilst it still gives you all of the benefits of previous versions, our desktop browser will enable users to setup panoramic views of the highway, giving a great visual tool as you drive the route. A new digitisation module will allow data capture at a much greater speed, as well as many other benefits. The software setup will allow clients to purchase new modules as they become available, adding greater functionality to our core browser.

The new version of our Interactive software allows users to view their assets and the associated information online. We believe this is a huge benefit to our clients, enabling them to have instant access to their digitised assets anywhere.

If you would like more information on any of our new software applications, please contact us on:

CarillionWSP have again commission RouteMapper to carry out a spatial video survey for Highways Agency Area 8 MAC (for the 3rd time in as many years). This includes routes in, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Essex, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire.

All of the pavement surfaces and general highway conditions will be clearly and unequivocally visible giving CarillionWSP the visual record that they require enabling them to assess current conditions.

The network length to survey is 716km consisting of, single lane one/two carriageway, dual carriageway and motorway sections to be surveyed in both directions.

Work will start soon!

A-One+ have commissioned RouteMapper yet again to complete a spatial video survey using our highly effective technology in Highways Agency Area 12 MAC which includes routes in Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire, following on from their past commission with RouteMapper in Area 7 MAC in July.

The video survey will provide A-One+ with a clear, unequivocal visual record of the current state of the managed network in terms of both pavement surface and general highway asset condition.

A-One+ are now able to track their existing assets, the condition of the assets and the pavement surface condition. Everything that they require from our team and more!

Amey, have once again selected to use IBI Group’s RouteMapper video data collection system for the third time in as many years!

The aim of the commission is to populate Amey’s corporate GIS “InFor” with a maintainable spatial inventory of Hereford Council Council’s highway assets obtained from the RouteMapper video. Total Length collected was 3,210 of driven lane km comprising of single lane one/two carriageway sections. The survey was completed within 15 working days by our highly effective data collection team. Record time!

Amey are currently utilising our flagship software; RouteMapper Version 4.0 desktop browser to view, digitise and export highway related assets in a highly effective and efficient manner with minimal effort, enabling the Council’s Transport Asset Management Plan (TAMP) objectives to be achieved, which are to help guide the progress and prioritisation of works on the network

The RouteMapper team was commissioned by the Al Ain municipality  to conduct a comprehensive 200km survey of their main transportation corridor. Al Ain is becoming a busy city with commercial and tourist traffic increasing annually, this increase will place greater demands on existing and future transportation infrastructure.

The larger project aims to address the transportation efficiencies through these corridors, covering their physical characteristics, traffic circulation and management, public transportation and urban planning. This study will provide a comprehensive solution for transportation. Critical issues and the functional improvements will be identified as the work involves a multi-disciplinary approach including, travel demand forecasting, simulation modelling, traffic circulation and parking, ITS applications and Geometric design.

RouteMapper will primarily be used to identify and locate traffic and transportation signage, ITS and communications equipment on the Roadside. This will allow the engineers and designers the ability to visualize the current network, and to plan future equipment location. The software tools allow the user to take measurements, record features and faults, and overlay engineering data to fully record the current status of the roads throughout the corridors.

RoadLink is the DBFO responsible for running the A69. They have recently commissioned a RouteMapper survey on the 127km road network.

The A69 provides an important link in the strategic road network, linking the industrial areas of North East England and Teesside, with the North West of England, the West of Scotland and, via the West coast ports, with Ireland. It also provides a route to the Lake District for holiday traffic. The route has been designated a part of the Trans European Road Network.

The aim of the survey is to provide RoadLink with a clear, unequivocal visual record of the current state of the managed network in terms of both pavement surface and general highway asset condition.

Herefordshire County Council have commissioned a RouteMapper survey to cover the bulk of their road network. All A roads, B roads and C roads throughout the county are to be covered along with a selection of the unclassified network. The total for this survey amounts to approximately 3200km.

The aim of the commission is to populate the Council’s Pavement Management System (PMS) with a maintainable inventory of highway related assets obtained from the video. This will enable the Council’s Transport Asset Management Plan (TAMP) objectives to be achieved in this area, helping guide the progress and prioritisation of works on the networkThe desktop browser will be used to complete a full inventory of roadside assets and provide a carraigeway condition assessment.
