Web and Mbile technlgies and 100,000km f rad: Delivering an effective rads management system Paul Fx, Lcal Gvernment Management Agency
Intrductin & Backgrund There are a lt f rads in Ireland 31 lcal authrities with apprximately 99,000 km f public rad in Republic f Ireland. Reginal and lcal rads (nn-natinal) accunt fr abut 93,500 km Funding Requirements Over 200m investment annually in maintenance and imprvement schemes fr the reginal and lcal rad netwrk. Minimum f 5% f reginal and 5% f lcal rad netwrk t be addressed in each categry n an annual basis Needs Currently based n mileage and previus studies A Natinal Pavement Management Plan? Practice mving twards mre tailred lcally based needs / plans supprted by Pavement Management
Intrductin & Backgrund Challenges Inadequate Recrd Keeping Being able t demnstrate Funding Needs Being able t demnstrate Value fr Mney Need imprved business prcesses and systems Lcal Authrity Own Resurces Future Main fcus will be n maintenance, rehabilitatin, drainage and bridges. Perfrmance Based Apprach - Trends and KPIs The best technlgy in the wrld will ultimately fail: - - If implemented in an envirnment where there are n peple t run it, - where the business prcesses are nt in place t maximise effrt. Fr an RMS t be successful, the imprtance f each cmpnent must be clear.
Asset Register t Asset Management... Desktp GIS sitting n relatinal database in place fr ver 15 years Gd fr describing the asset but difficult t embed perfrmance statistics Added infrmatin n cllisin data, bridges, traffic cunt, speed limits, hazards and ther rad management data But the data wasn t always dynamic r meaningful enugh Bucket-lads f infrmatin capacity n every cnceivable attribute Was the benefit f the infrmatin recrded ever realised Cnfidence in the infrmatin Have t rely n manpwer fr infrmatin as n telemetry in rads (except fr traffic data)
Make the infrmatin accessible Mving the system t a centrally hsted brwserbased technlgy makes life easier all rund Resurces Licensing csts Efficient Accessible Infrmatin becmes mre dynamic Easier t get in...

Gathering data in the field Make it standard Pre-defined data lists Limit free-text entry Easy t use Familiar devices; tablet and smartphne Open and use it Easy t dwnlad/uplad N manual interventin frm IT prfessinals Dn t make them d it twice Avail f third party tls like Bluetth GPS assist
