Roads

Advances in technology and new innovations are changing the way road networks are delivered and managed. With a focus on safety, reliability and sustainability, our clients are looking to the future to deliver intelligent transport management systems. From smart highways to urban traffic management, public transport integration to autonomous vehicles and electric vehicle infrastructure. dad is used to engineer and manage the fibre optic networks that drive traffic management systems.

Improve design, maintenance and management outcomes.

Big data, AI and machine learning is the future for traffic predication, management and infrastructure planning. So, complex systems information must be completely centralised and digital to ensure that new and existing road networks can take full advantage of future technologies. dad allows our clients in the road sector to achieve this.

Main Roads Western Australia use dad as the master platform for the operations of their systems and Transport for NSW use dad for intelligent traffic management systems and the replacement of obsolete communication technology.

dad can be introduced at any point in the lifecycle, so new and existing systems can be modelled in dad. The model is then used to manage the systems through future phases of their development. Systems information is presented in an organised and easily accessible way for the use of all stakeholders. Our clients in the road sector have seen significant improvements to their design, maintenance and management outcomes.

Transparent and accurate systems information that is easily accessed by stakeholders.

Specific benefits of dad for roads

Improves as-built asset management capabilities.
Improves ability to capture existing assets, assess their status, determine appropriate treatment (e.g. replacement, repair, upgrade, etc.), and track updates to completion.
Greater transparency of asset information for all stakeholders.

dad has been the tool of choice as a system representation database for our scope of our state government telecommunications delivery program.

We were facing the challenge of documenting a telecommunications solution design (for rail) with many different components and variations, deployed across more than 10,000 sites.  The challenge in working with a scope of this magnitude is making it relevant and of value to the client; it needs to be accessible, easy to understand and provide data that is of value for the various stakeholders.

dad has provided a tool that enables them to search, navigate and understand the detail of the deployed solution with little difficulty.

It allowed us to federate a significant amount of siloed asset data and standardise an approach to ensure the project provides a single source of truth for the business, which is not only accurate and reliable, but straightforward to use by our stakeholders.
