Case Study: Hertfordshire County Council achieves 50% more efficient road closure planning with CausewayOne Network

Automatic Diversion Routes making Hertfordshire County Council 50% more efficient

Hertfordshire County Council, which maintains an extensive network of 3,000 miles of roads, was challenged by a 45% increase in road and street works. The council's dedicated team was spending a considerable amount of time manually planning road closures and diversions, with each diversion taking up to four minutes to plot using Causeway Technologies' CausewayOne Network platform.

The solution was the implementation of Causeway's new Automatic Diversion Routes (ADR) feature within CausewayOne Network. This tool automatically generates and plots optimal diversion routes, factoring in various risks. As a result, the council reduced its planning time for urban closures by 50%, cutting the process to just two minutes. This 50% increase in efficiency has liberated the team to focus on other critical tasks and process more permits.
