New features are boosting the capabilities of Yotta’s Horizons software

Highway technology and services company Yotta DCL has announced new features for Horizons.

The web-based platform integrates GIS, pavement and asset management for highways authorities and agencies to use in a visualised asset management system. The new version 2.3 adds features and functionality across three modules: Explorer, Analysis and Management.

Explorer allows users to view, load and visualise a range of datasets, including base network data, their condition in fine detail, plus relevant asset or construction information. A new “deep linking” feature shares connections to the exact location of assets and associated data

New features are boosting the capabilities of Yotta’s Horizons software using unique web addresses. The data-analysis enhancements allow users to streamline the creation of optimised forward works plans with modelling of non-deteriorated parameters such as footway network survey (FNS) data. There is also a new “Reduce By Treatment” effect in the treatment options and a CO2 impact option can be summarised in the data analysis reports. The management module now features “Layer Upload/ Import” and a layer building functionality for easy customisation and creation of data sub-sets.

The northern UK town of Rochdale is targeting priority highways maintenance schemes with strategic support from road asset specialist 5153 Yotta DCL. Consultants from this highway technology and survey company used Horizons, its visualised asset management software based on the web, to create works programmes for the town’s carriageway and footway network. This latest contract builds on previous work done by the company including coarse visual inspections (CVI), scanner surveys, footway network surveys and Video Asset Inventory Collection. Horizons provides GIS, pavement management and asset management systems. All of the Borough Council’s previously captured survey data is used by the system to accurately score defects and prioritise work schemes.
