Mott MacDonald will set up an asset management system as part of Highways England’s new technology operations centre.


Under the T-TOC contract - Tools for the Technology Operations Centre – 2579 Mott MacDonald will work with 7257 Fujitsu which will develop a suite of software systems to monitor and manage electronic assets across 8100 Highways England’s network.

Highways England has nearly 100,000 intelligent infrastructure devices across England’s strategic road network – trunk roads and motorways. T-TOC will enable a more efficient system of electronic traffic management, enabling Highways England to centralise operational decision-making. The system will provide data that informs demand models, predicts future needs and identifies areas for investment.

Mott MacDonald has delivered traffic and infrastructure management technology for Highways England since 1998, said Alison Mackenzie, Mott MacDonald's project director. “The project with Fujitsu will support Highways England in meeting the requirements of the UK government's Roads Investment Strategy.”

“We are planning to improve the way we monitor and maintain our technology, such as signals and CCTV, by introducing a new technology operations centre [and using] commercial off-the-shelf products to improve the accuracy of information provided to road users,” said Janet Foreman, Highways England senior project manager.

Completion of the T-TOC contract is 2019, with the potential to extend service provision for four years.
