How asset location intelligence is driving highway efficiency gains
Setting the Scene• What is good asset management planning?• Key drivers• What is common practice today?
Mobile Mapping Solutions• Tools and technology• Innovative modelling for asset inventory
Case Study - Oxfordshire County Council• Fit for purpose solution• Efficiencies
Good Asset Management• Whole asset life cycle
– Asset Maintenance and Improvement– Asset Value
• Clear evidence for investment need– Complete and accurate asset inventory– Fit for purpose data
• Efficient highway service delivery– Targeted investment– Smarter working– Best use of resources and funds

DfT Element 2 funding – to improve asset
inventory data.
Public Accounts Committee – Fifteenth Report Maintaining Strategic Infrastructure : Roads September 2014
Highways Authorities criticised for not knowing enough about local road assets and 45 authorities were criticised for not having completed asset management plans (early 2014).
80% of an organisations data has a location
element. But do we really know where it is?
Gearing up for efficient highway delivery and funding – January 2014
Funding eligibility in 2015 - driven by efficiencies and good practice.
The highways sector must continue to generate ideas and tools to ensure its services meet challenging demands.Phil Brennan, Association for Public Service Excellence
Gearing up for efficient highway delivery and funding – January 2014
DfT encouraging local authorities to build up their asset inventory and analysis capabilities.
Ignite ideas
- Transformational change
- Innovative measures
- Greater Efficiencies
Common Practice Today
Lists• Often paper based• Sometimes disparate • Partial cross referencing• Limited spatial intelligence • Subjective interpretation• No visualisation
• Fully digitised datasets• Uniform open data formats• Unique ID for data integration• Fully geo-referenced in 3D• Imagery and overlay driven• Intuitive “StreetView” interface
Efficiency Drivers
Common Practice Today
Legacy Data• Approximate locations • Some data duplications• Often limited capture processes
– Techniques and technology – Incomplete due to inadequate
resource provision
• Accurate positioning intelligence• Detailed and correct inventory• Mobile Mapping
– Rapid, accurate, no site visits– Scalable, repeatable, multiple in-
house extractions from single campaign
Efficiency Drivers
Common Practice Today
Data Maintenance • Often undefined leading to
data potentially being…– Out of date
– Unusable
– Unreliable
Data Maintenance • Planned approach efined leading
to potential data issues such as– Repeatable campaigns, repeatable
accuracies achieved– Highly intuitive interface, open
formats, system integration– Imagery providing “real world”
verification

Common Practice Today
Data Accessibility and Sharing• Often depts working in silo• Possible duplicated data• Data unavailable across systems• Some restrictions with mobile
and desktop data deployment
• Shared and combined data model• Update schedule – “only once”• Platform and format independent• Data available – desktop, browser,
tablet
Efficiency Drivers
Common Practice Today
Integration and Interoperability• IT Infrastructure limitations• System compatibility issues
with legacy systems• Issues feeding into existing
workflows
Integration and Interoperability• Remote serving cost efficiencies• Platform and format
independent• Seamless integration to existing
back office systems
Efficiency Drivers
autoMAP Mobile Mapping provides a means of facilitating highway asset management
Asset Intelligence Gathering• Accurate and detailed inventory of highway assets• Enabling asset evaluation and assessment• Providing full visibility of the network
Mobile Mapping SolutionsRapidly and simultaneously acquires high accuracy point cloud
data and high resolution panoramic imagery.Methodology is • Accurate
– 3D positioning technology
• Safe– Removes survey personnel from the carriageway
• Efficient– Rapid acquisition– One campaign feeds many
• Cost Effective– Removes need for traffic management or road closures
Tools and Technologies• Topcon IP-S2 Compact +• Orbit Geospatial Technologies
Data Outputs• High Density LiDAR• High Resolution Imagery
Innovative Modelling for Asset Inventory• Fit for purpose solution
– Orbit Asset Inventory Management– Point, click and map technology– Intuitive user interface – Google ‘StreetView’
• Evidence based modelling– Justify need for investment– Strong case for funding eligibility from 2015 onwards
• Asset Inventory Analysis (encouraged by the DfT)– What assets you have– Where are they located– What condition the assets are in
Case Study Oxfordshire County Council
Oxfordshire is a Local Authority which has stepped up to the challenge • Shared vision• Requirements analysis• Defined model • Accurate fully geo-referenced dataset • Scalable – future extraction potential • Integration into existing back office systems
AcquisitionLiDAR point cloud and imagery for 5000km road network
Project Planning• Trajectory accuracy• Route optimisation• Weather• Survey conditions e.g. leaf cover v leaf fall• Point cloud noise e.g. parked cars
Full Detailed Asset Inventory• Scalable and Repeatable
– New assets, new types– Targeted acquisition campaigns, redrive circa. 5 years– New requirements and future in-house extraction potential
• Use of Orbit Asset Inventory Management • GIS based• Feature Extraction ‘Point and Click’• Attribution• Asset Data Volumes
– Drainage (points) – Pedestrian guardrails (lines)– Verges (polygons)

Data Sharing• Asset inventory utilised across the organisation
– Operational and Administrative (Field and Office based)– Desktop and Mobile deployment– Multi-disciplines (Drainage, Highways, Bridge Inspection, Planning, Land and
Highway Records)
• Encourages collaborative working• Encourages transparency• Reduces cost of developing and maintaining valuable data resources
Data Accessibility• Integration
– Bentley EXOR– Concepts-online – Other cross-departmental datasets – Inspire – metadata
• Interoperability - API– Web and Mobile deployment
