KeyASSET HIGHWAYS tagline
     
  KeyASSET HIGHWAYS is a computerised highway maintenance management system, which has been designed to assist in the prioritisation of maintenance expenditure on road networks. To effect this, KeyASSET HIGHWAYS uses current road network condition information together with information regarding previously applied treatments to indicate which sections of a road network require treatment. For each section requiring treatment, KeyASSET HIGHWAYS specifies the type of treatment required and the cost of applying that treatment. Subsequently, the order in which each defective road section should be treated relative to other defective road sections is suggested. As can be seen, KeyASSET HIGHWAYS is a tool which can assist highway engineers and Road Authorites to prioritise and cost periodic maintenance treatments. As a result sections of a road network that are most in need of treatment may be identified and remedied.  

     
KeyASSET HIGHWAYS Highlights
Network Inventory: Storage and retrieval of relevant inventory items occuring on a road network. Prioritisation of Treatments: Clearly auditable and flexible process for the prioritisation of periodic maintenance activities.
  Road Condition: Storage and retrieval of road condition information.   Import: Import visual surveys and machine surveys from HMDIF (UKPMS)files.  
  Selection of Treatments: Clearly auditable and flexible process for the selection of periodic maintenance treatments.   Security: A graded security system to ensure the integrity of the data.  
         
  "A very easy to use, fully customisable, integrated road management maintenance
 system which enables the identification and prioritisation of road
 maintenance need in a transparent, fair and efficient manner."
 
         
         
KeyASSET HIGHWAYS in Detail
  Define Defects   Define Treatments  
 
KeyASSET HIGHWAYS is fully customisable allowing the user to define the defects which are used to assess the condition of the network. This involves defining properties such as the method used to convert the measured defect value to a percentage of deterioration. This may be done by specifying a formula or graph.
 
KeyASSET HIGHWAYS is fully customisable allowing the user to define treatments which may be applied to remedy each defect. This involves specifying unit rates for the treatment, allowing the cost of the recommended remedial treatments to be determined.
 
         
  Define Intervention Levels   UKPMS  
 
KeyASSET HIGHWAYS is fully customisable allowing the user to specify measured defect values above which treatment becomes necessary-the 'intervention levels'.
 
KeyASSET HIGHWAYS is capable of importing visual and machine surveys from HMDIF files. These surveys include CVI, DVI, FNS, CRUT, DRUT, Deflectograph, SCRIM, SCANNER and GripTester. KeyASSET HIGHWAYS can process the survey data using the latest UKPMS defects, treatments and intervention levels.
 
         
  Treatment Determination.   Priority Rating  
The treatment determination process in an automated process in which the system analyses all defects within each section of the road to determine which defects require remedial action. Subsequently the system suggests remedial treatments for such defects. In addition, conflicting treatments are rationalised where any conflict results from the treatment determination process. For example, if surface dressing is suggested due to minor carriageway deterioration and a regulating overlay is suggested due to wheel track rutting then the two treatments are rationalised by the system resulting in regulating overlay being recommended.
The system determines the order in which each defective section of road should be treated. To achieve this, a priority rating value is calculated for each defensive road section. It is calculated from the amount of each defect present in the road section, the severity of the type of defect (user definable)and the hierarchy level assigned to the associated road section.
         
  Comprehensive Reporting   Clearly Auditable and Flexible  
 
Various reports and graphs are produced by the system. These include statistical reports and graphs produced from the network inventory and road condition information. The most important reports produced are the priority reports. These reports contain full details of the defects, suggested treatments and costs for each defective section of the road in order of priority.
 
The treatment determination and priority rating process is clearly auditable, by allowing the user to easily view why the system is suggesting a particular set of treatments in a particular order of priority. The processes are also flexible, by allowing the user to customise all aspects.
