Good Roads Should Cost Less

We focus on Road Asset Management Frameworks for national road authorities, development and implementation of new methodologies for undertaking inventory and road condition surveys, development of Road Maintenance Management Systems, and development of maintenance management plans.

Undertaking Inventory and Road Condition Surveys

At IT Transport, we specialise in Undertaking Inventory and Road Condition Surveys, recognising that effective road management relies on a clear understanding of road networks. Our comprehensive approach provides national road authorities and transport agencies with essential data for informed decision-making on maintenance prioritisation, investment allocation, and long-term infrastructure strategies.

While traditional road management often suffers from outdated or incomplete data, our approach to undertaking surveys is underpinned by the need for accurate and up-to-date information, including road length, pavement type, structures, drainage systems, and roadside features, enabling objective assessments of road condition and forming the basis for data-driven decisions. Utilising modern technologies like GPS and LiDAR, we develop detailed inventories and employ advanced assessment methodologies and cutting-edge technologies such as automated road deterioration detection systems. Rigorous quality assurance procedures ensure the accuracy and consistency of collected data, which we then transform into actionable insights, analysing survey data to identify trends and patterns in road deterioration and presenting findings in clear, concise reports tailored to your needs.

Development of Road Maintenance Management Systems

At IT Transport, we specialise in the Development of Road Maintenance Management Systems (RMMS) integrated with modern Geographical Information System (GIS) and tailored for national road authorities and transport agencies, recognising the essential role of ongoing care for well-built roads. These custom-designed systems offer a structured approach to road maintenance, ensuring efficient, safe, and cost-effective operation of road networks throughout their lifespan. Reactive maintenance approaches often result in higher costs and premature infrastructure deterioration, making RMMS crucial for proactive management. Through our expertise and client-centred approach, we empower road authorities to maintain infrastructure effectively, ensuring safe and efficient road networks for all users. By utilising data from inventory and condition surveys, RMMS develop data-driven maintenance plans, prioritise maintenance needs, optimise resource allocation, and enhance road safety by addressing deficiencies promptly. Our approach involves developing customizable RMMS integrated with existing systems, such as inventory data management and financial planning tools, to ensure seamless operation. Our RMMS generate map-based work orders, facilitate budgeting, offer predictive maintenance capabilities, and integrate mobile applications for real-time reporting and data collection. Investing in an RMMS yields benefits such as reduced maintenance costs, improved road network performance, enhanced decision-making, and increased transparency and accountability, providing a clear audit trail of maintenance activities and promoting informed resource allocation decisions.

Development of Maintenance Management Plans

At IT Transport, we emphasise the necessity of a clear roadmap for road network development through specialising in the Development of Maintenance Management Plans (MMPs) tailored for national road authorities and transport agencies. These customised plans provide a strategic framework for maintaining infrastructure efficiently, safely, and within budget over the long term. Through our expertise and client-focused approach, we empower road authorities to maintain infrastructure effectively for the benefit of all road users.

Without proper maintenance, roads quickly deteriorate, leading to safety risks, increased costs, and disruptions for users. MMPs offer a proactive solution, outlining specific maintenance activities such as scheduling, budgeting, and resource allocation to ensure structured road preservation. Leveraging data from inventory and condition surveys, these plans prioritise maintenance needs, focusing resources where they have the greatest impact on safety and performance. Our approach involves collaborating with clients to integrate data into the plan, developing maintenance strategies tailored to different road types and conditions, and providing detailed cost estimates for projected activities to facilitate realistic budget planning and resource allocation. Beyond documentation, we assist in implementing the plan, monitoring performance, managing risks, and engaging stakeholders to ensure transparency and support. Investing in comprehensive MMPs extends the lifespan of roads, enhances safety, improves budget management, and enables data-driven continuous improvement in maintenance practices and budget allocation strategies. MMPs can also be easily integrated into RMMS to provide comprehensive consolidated system for prioritisation, reporting and monitoring of all physical and financial progress of any road project
