In the US, Causeway one.network has released Route Manager, what it says is a “transit route disruption communications tool” for road agencies.
Route Manager is a collaborative communications tool that provides road authorities and transit operators with a shared view of road construction and work zones. The aim is to prevent disruptions to planned transit routes.
The programme has been in use on UK roads since 2019 and has now been adapted to recognise and accommodate the nuances of traffic management in the United States.
Causeway one.network, a digital work zone and road management platform provider, said the platform delivers clear and detailed information on planned and current construction and work zones.
Route Manager can be the difference between free flowing traffic and gridlock, said Kieran Holloway, Causeway one.network’s US market leader. “We know that delivering reliable transit routes to agencies is critical for rider adoption,” he said. “Route manager gives high-level situational awareness to the right people in an intuitive platform. Because it operates throughout the road construction lifecycle, this platform is the perfect planning tool to reduce and prevent transit delays.”
New plans are immediately shared on the platform’s map. At the same time, Route Manager delivers a shared, real-time view of the road network allowing transit operators to make adjustments in the moment.
“While it’s brand new in the US, the fact that it has been so successful in the UK reduces the new-product risk for American agencies,” said Holloway. “This is a market-ready solution with proven impact.”
Since entering the US market three years ago, Causeway one.network has secured multiple long-term statewide and regional contracts. The company’s Livelink, Plan Share and Traffic Management solutions are in use throughout Florida, Texas and southern Nevada including Las Vegas.
