Description

Extension of existing G-Cloud Agreement with Causeway for the provision of the Pavement Decision Support Tools.

Decision support tools enable the integration and management of vast amounts of data related to asset conditions, maintenance history, usage patterns, and environmental factors. These tools can handle diverse data types and sources, including sensor data, inspection reports, GIS data, and historical records, providing a comprehensive view of asset health.

These tools utilise advanced algorithms and models to assess the current condition of assets and predict their future condition based on various factors such as usage, weather patterns, material degradation, and maintenance schedules. By accurately predicting asset deterioration, maintenance needs can be anticipated, planned, and executed proactively, minimising the risk of unexpected failures and optimising resource allocation.

Decision support tools enable National Highways to make informed decisions regarding investment priorities and resource allocation. By analysing asset condition data alongside budget constraints, risk factors, and performance objectives, DSTs help identify the most critical areas requiring immediate attention and allocate resources efficiently to maximise the overall performance and longevity of assets.

Effective asset management involves mitigating risks associated with asset deterioration, operational failures, safety hazards, and regulatory compliance. Decision support tools facilitate risk assessment by quantifying the probability and potential consequences of various failure scenarios, allowing asset managers to prioritise interventions and allocate resources to minimise risk exposure and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.

By integrating asset condition data with lifecycle cost analysis, DSTs support National Highways to evaluate the long-term costs and benefits of different maintenance strategies and investment options. This holistic approach helps optimise asset lifecycle costs by balancing short-term maintenance expenses with long-term performance, resilience, and sustainability objectives.

Decision support tools provide real-time monitoring capabilities to track asset performance indicators, assess the effectiveness of maintenance interventions, and measure progress towards predefined performance targets. Additionally, these tools facilitate reporting and communication with stakeholders by generating standardised reports, dashboards, and visualisations that convey complex asset information in a clear and actionable manner.
