How it works
From a Street Manager event to a decision, in seconds
There is no data entry and no integration project. HighwayIQ reads the same national open data that Street Manager publishes, and adds the analysis on top.
Street Manager publishes an event
Every permit application, grant, variation, works start and stop, and Section 58 change is published by the Department for Transport as open data, in near real time.
HighwayIQ ingests it
Events arrive through a secure webhook and are stored with British National Grid geometry. Events with damaged or impossible dates are quarantined for review instead of corrupting the record.
Four detectors run
Spatial overlap with other live works, Section 58 restrictions, protected routes, and sensitive locations such as schools, hospitals and bus stops. Each clash gets a severity and a reason.
Alerts and money are worked out
Overruns are priced at the S74 daily rate for the street. Section 58 breaches go into an alert queue. Every permit is tagged to its ward.
Your team acts on it
Coordinators work a ranked queue, a map and a works programme. Councillors receive plain-English ward reports. Everything links back to the Street Manager permit reference.
Nothing to install
A web application with nothing installed on council machines. Your permit system and Street Manager stay as they are.
Live from day one
The feed is national, so your authority’s permits are already in HighwayIQ before you sign up. A pilot can start in days.
Your context added
Sensitive locations, protected routes and ward boundaries are loaded from open data and can be refined with local knowledge.
What data HighwayIQ uses
- Street Manager open data (Department for Transport): permits, works, activities and Section 58 restrictions.
- Ward and local authority boundaries (Office for National Statistics).
- OS Open Roads and USRN street geometry (Ordnance Survey open data).
- Bus stops (NaPTAN), schools (Get Information about Schools) and hospitals (geocoded through the ONS postcode directory), for sensitive locations.
All of it is published under the Open Government Licence. See open data and licences, and the methodology for how each metric is calculated.
See it on your own network
We will load your authority’s live Street Manager data and walk through clashes, S58 and S74 exposure with your coordinators.
