Roads

Helping to optimize road and track maintenance costs

Proper maintenance of road infrastructure is essential to preserve and improve social benefits. The importance of maintenance must be recognised by decision-makers, adequately funded and well managed to ensure maximum value is achieved.

Maintaining an efficient and high value road network does not depend only on the construction of roads but mainly on the correct maintenance of those already built, since these comprise one of the main assets of the infrastructure of a country or region. The decision not to conserve or the wrong choice of conservation strategies causes a deterioration of this patrimony.

Solutions for smart management

At Implemental Systems, we offer high-value solutions and services that make us the best strategic partner to face the current and future challenges and opportunities of road and highway construction companies and concessionaires. The current service level management models offer a new scenario for the digitization of infrastructure maintenance processes. We focus on process optimisation to reduce costs, reduce response times, improve service quality and increase the value of company assets.

Data Visualization

This solution makes it possible to visualize data on road conditions and assets. It is very flexible when importing and interpreting data, guaranteeing the visualization of all the information. This simple visualization allows the exploitation of complex data to improve road maintenance planning and operation processes. Some examples of the data that can be visualized are: road condition data generated through auscultation (IRI, PCI, RCI, tracks, fissures, etc ...), inventory of assets, accidents, damages, claims, complaints or queries, locations of POI or video images scanner, among others.

Management planning

This digital tool facilitates decision making and management planning in the short, medium and long term based on the condition data of the infrastructure. The system allows to define sets of rules or trees of "decision making" that are applied to the stored data to identify locations that require some type of intervention, presenting different schemes of maintenance costs depending on the priorities or rules defined by the client. In this way it is possible to have a high support for the decision making, allowing to justify the investment decisions taken.

Evolution of the state of conservation

This technological development makes it possible to visually evaluate the evolution over time of an asset or group of assets in order to understand the effectiveness of conservation and maintenance plans. It works with video images and Google Street View technology.

Hypothetical Scenarios

This digital application enables the evaluation of several multi-year projection modelling scenarios, facilitating a better understanding of the relationship between budgets, maintenance strategies and asset performance.

Cost Simulator

This solution simulates and evaluates the costs of maintenance strategies. It evaluates the investment required to achieve performance goals that can range from maintaining a steady state in the overall condition of the network to focusing on particular aspects of network performance.

Life Cycle Planning and Costs

By simulating economic scenarios, this solution incorporates life cycle planning principles to optimize annual plan selection. It analyses the total cost of living until the next required intervention on an asset based on the probable deterioration of the condition, the intervention thresholds and the effectiveness of each treatment to improve the condition of the asset.

Road Inventory Management

This solution allows the visualization and operation on the road inventory of our customers. A complete road inventory is provided through an open data model that adjusts completely to the characteristics of any inventory. All activities, defects, repairs or modifications received by each element can be recorded, or even by each of its subcomponents, throughout its life cycle.

Field work allocation

The operational maintenance management tools offered by Implemental Systems generate a complete scheme for assigning jobs to our crews or work teams. In this way, any issue is assigned and communicated to the person in charge of its revision or correction. In addition, it allows total control of the costs associated with these activities, recording both the costs associated with the equipment and the materials or resources needed.

Integration with IoT

The solutions offered by Implemental Systems allow a complete integration with sensor systems. The new IoT paradigm for maintenance allows very high levels of knowledge of our assets, allowing the analysis of large volumes of information and the generation of predictive maintenance models.

Field work management

Our maintenance management solutions have a mobility component that enables task management via mobile terminals. This tool allows total control of field activities, providing real-time information on the activities of our crews, geopositioning of our equipment, or assignment of tasks in real time among other functionalities. All the information received allows to keep the road inventory updated, as well as the automatic generation of reports on the operative data collected in the field.

Reporting

The solutions that Implemental Systems offers for the management of road maintenance has a complete reporting system that generates automatically those reports necessary for the control of KPIs or SLAs of the company. This reporting tool has a powerful report parameterization technology, allowing to adjust the tool to the needs of each specific client.

Process automation

Within road maintenance processes there are certain tasks that can be fully automated either because of their low added value or because of the need for an immediate response. In this regard, Implemental Systems offers a tool capable of generating, in a simple way, different automated workflows that generate automatic actions in the system (automatic sending of worksheet to crews as a response to critical incidents, automation of sending reports, automation of repetitive tasks, etc ...).
