IBI Group in collaboration with Atkins succeeds in securing another local authority project.

North Somerset County Council has commissioned a RouteMapper video survey of their entire road network including all A, B, C and Un-Classified Roads. In total 1,225km of road network will be surveyed, a high proportion of which are contained within busy urban environments.

Urban networks provide unique challenges in terms of traffic and maintaining accurate positioning due to inadequate GPS. However, the RouteMapper team has extensive experience in these environments, utilising high end inertial navigation systems, ensuring the highest quality imagery and positioning is retained.

The aim of the commission is to provide North Somerset County Council with an accurate and efficient method of populating the Council’s Pavement Management System (PMS), Pitney Bowes Confirm™, with a maintainable inventory of highway related assets obtained from the video.

In Partnership with Atkins Asset Management Team North Yorkshire County Council has commissioned IBI Group to carry out a RouteMapper video survey of their road network including all A, B, C and Unclassified roads.

In total 8,400km of road network will be surveyed. To our knowledge tthis is the largest video survey commission that has ever been undertaken in the UK!

Such a large survey, gives rise to many unique challenges for the team in terms of network complexity and management of data, which we are tackling with the professionalism and dedication our clients have come to expect from us.

The aim of the commission is to populate the Council’s Pavement Management System (PMS) Symology’s INSIGHT™ with a maintainable inventory of highway related assets obtained from the video. Thus enabling the Council’s Transport Asset Management Plan (TAMP) objectives to be achieved in the area of asset valuation.

Atkins forethought in utilising the RouteMapper system video in conjunction our RouteMapper Version 4.0 desktop software will enable them too efficiently and effectively digitise the required highway assets within record time!

Not withstanding the inventory, North Yorkshire County Council’s further use of the network video provides a clear, unequivocal visual record of the network enabling many other maintenance related activities to be performed over the coming years.

RouteMapper are to exhibit at Highway Maintenance 2010 at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole. The conference and exhibition will take place on Tuesday 22nd June 2010.

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 operating costs are reduced whilst improving the safety of your staff.

Come and see us at stand 25 to get more information on our services.

Once again, RouteMapper are to exhibit at HSC10, Our Changing World. It will take place on 12th and 13th May 2010 at Cardiff International Arena.

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.

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!
