Leamington Spa, 03 May 2012 Yotta DCL has won a contract from the London Borough of Hillingdon for a high-tech digital video survey of the Boroughs highway assets, with complementary professional support services. Yotta DCL will capture street level images along Hillingdons 500km road network at normal traffic speeds to give a fast, accurate and updated overview of a wide range of assets, including carriageway, footways, verges, cycletracks, street benches, road markings and signs.
The asset inventory information will be used to bring Hillingdons Exor computerised asset management system up to date. When the Boroughs new highways maintenance budget is confirmed and available, Yotta DCL will extract further inventory from the video survey to add additional detail to the network.
Yotta DCLs video survey captures high-resolution street-level images of highways assets for example, carriageways, footways, verges, cycle tracks, road signs, street name plates, bollards, road markings, verges, footway, lampposts, etc – using bespoke inventory capture vehicles. The vehicles are specially adapted vans equipped with high-grade inertia tracking and differential GPS software that can cover approximately 75km of road network per day. Yotta DCL can extract detailed inventory datasets from the images and supply them geo-referenced for loading into the customers software package or for using with its own Horizons Visualised Asset Management software.
