Case Study: Kent County Council improves permit and lane rental management with Causeway Technologies

Success for Kent County Council permit & lane rental schemes

Kent County Council, a local highways authority, faced the challenge of efficiently scheduling and controlling roadworks on its extensive network. To reduce congestion and gain more power over this process, they were the first council to implement a permit scheme and a groundbreaking Lane Rental Scheme. They partnered with vendor Causeway Technologies to address these challenges using their Asset Management solutions.

Causeway implemented its customised Street Works management software to automate the permit application process and administer the new Lane Rental Scheme. The solution from Causeway provided advanced tools for mapping works, automatic charge calculation, and detailed reporting. The measurable results for Kent County Council included a significant reduction in the average occupation time for urgent works from 5 days to 3 days, a decrease in works being undertaken during peak traffic hours, and more efficient processes that benefited all road users.
