[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]TRL Software\u2019s iROADS\u2122 platform <\/em>is a sophisticated asset management and decision-making tool for road infrastructure assets, helping to keep road networks safe, efficient and reliable. And, thanks to a major new update, it now has even more tricks up its sleeve.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]\u201cI think our customers are going to like what they see in the latest update \u2013 both in terms of all the new product capabilities and also the improvements in the user experience,\u201d says John Proust, TRL Software\u2019s Product Owner for iROADS\u2122. \u201cWe have more than a hundred people from across TRL working on iROADS\u2122 right now, and that huge spread of expertise is really showing through in the product.\u201d<\/p>\n

The latest update has been designed to work at even greater scale than previous iterations, allowing for more users, larger data volumes and faster performance. It also boasts greater connectivity than earlier versions, with the new iROADS\u2122 capable of real-time sensor data integration, for example from live camera feeds or AI-generated object detection data.<\/p>\n

\"iRoads<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another major improvement is that iROADS\u2122 now supports full integration of just about any \u2018spatial data\u2019 that customers want to use within the system.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re essentially talking about any kind of data that can be mapped to a real-world location,\u201d John explains. \u201cIt could be that a roads authority wants to bring in locations of schools or hospitals or petrol stations to prioritise maintenance on routes to those locations, or bring in flood risk zone maps to understand which parts of their road network are at risk.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new iROADS\u2122 supports all major spatial file formats and is designed so that users don\u2019t need any particular expertise in using spatial data. This means that our customers now have huge flexibility to bring in new datasets to use alongside all the other asset data that iROADS\u2122 is already handling for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s not just TRL\u2019s customers who will see the difference. A new Survey Route Builder, for example, allows iROADS\u2122 users to plot road maintenance and monitoring routes that can be shared with asset surveyors (whether in-house or contracted), making their time out on the road more efficient. Members of the public can also get involved by using the iROADS\u2122 Public Mobile App \u2013 giving regular road users the ability to report road infrastructure issues as soon as they arise.<\/p>\n

\"iRoadsNational Highways have selected iROADS\u2122 to replace their highly complex HAPMS pavement management system. The entirety of the English Strategic Route Network \u2013 representing some \u00a380bn of UK infrastructure \u2013 will be managed using iROADS\u2122.<\/p>\n

TRL\u2019s Smart Mobility Living Lab (SMLL) has meanwhile been using the integrated intelligent camera feeds and object-detection data within iROADS\u2122 to leverage new capabilities related to real-time sensor and asset data usage. In India, the State of Kerala\u2019s Public Works Department has been using the iROADS\u2122 Public Mobile App to empower members of the public to report road infrastructure issues along the 33,593-kilometre network maintained by the department. The app has been downloaded by 50,000+ road users and has already led to a twofold increase in the number of issues reported and an 83% reduction in wait time for the issues to be resolved.<\/p>\n

\"public\u201cData is already a huge driver of effective management of transport infrastructure, and will only become more so as new digital frontiers open up,\u201d says John. \u201ciROADS\u2122 is all about generating maximum value from such data for our customers, and enabling them to benefit directly from new technologies.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of the way iROADS\u2122 allows users to visualise, combine and analyse data, I am confident we\u2019re going to see new usages and benefits in the near future that go beyond what has been possible until now.\u201d<\/p>\n

As well as the new features that have been added in the latest update, iROADS\u2122 also boasts improvements in terms of user experience, including improved mapping display responsiveness, a more streamlined interface and simpler integration with external systems through Open APIs (Application Programme Interfaces).<\/p>\n

New Data Staging and Change Tracking features also give administrators much greater control over data coming into the system, and provide a full audit trail.<\/p>\n

“The latest version of iROADS\u2122 represents a major investment on the part of TRL Software that provides our customers with a totally new approach to asset management,\u201d says Head of Product Management, Subu Kamal.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve looked at the challenges that our customers are facing around high costs and dated technologies that do not scale, and we\u2019ve come up with a digital solution that is simpler, fully scalable and truly global \u2013 meeting the needs of our different customer segments from the US to the UK and from India to Australia.\u201d<\/p>\n
