Clash detection and triage
Every permit event is checked as it arrives, given a severity from Blocking to Low, and queued with the reason and the action to take.
Product
An intelligence workbench, licensed by capability
HighwayIQ is a set of capabilities on one platform. Authorities license the ones they need, and every one runs on the same live Street Manager data.
Available now
Live and in daily use.
Section 58 protection
Protects newly resurfaced streets. Any permit that intersects a live Section 58 restriction is flagged as Blocking and placed in an alert queue.
S74 overrun alerts and exposure
Finds works running past their permitted end, calculates days over and the daily charge, and totals the authority’s overrun exposure.
Works programme
A Gantt view of every works on a street or across an area, with planned and actual dates side by side and Section 58 corridors overlaid.
Councillor ward reports
A plain-English report of the works in a ward for a given week, ready to print, save as PDF or paste into an email to councillors.
In development
Built or partly built, being tested against live data before release.
Street dig history
The full works history of any street: who opened it, when, for how long, and how each job ended.
Network stress
A weekly score per ward that combines road category, traffic management and how many works run at once, shown as a ward-by-week heat map.
Cross-boundary works
Finds works by another highway authority near your own works at the same time: neighbouring councils across the boundary, and authorities such as National Highways inside your area.
On the roadmap
Designed, not yet built. Timelines are shared with pilot authorities.
Promoter scorecards
Longitudinal performance per promoter: overrun rate, clash rate and Section 58 breaches, normalised by works volume.
Ward Intelligence portal
A councillor portal with magic-link sign-in, showing everything in a councillor’s own wards, including the council’s own works.
Public Accountability
An independent public site on promoter performance for residents and the press, with published methodology and a right of reply.
Plain-English briefings
One-click summaries of complex multi-clash situations, written for a briefing note.
Where HighwayIQ fits
Alongside your permit system, not instead of it
Permit management platforms handle the transaction. HighwayIQ adds the analysis, so there is nothing to migrate and no change to how permits are assessed.
