One of the most valuable tools of ÍCARO application is the cartography typical of GIS, that allows a quick and easy representation, through topics, of any elements or/and characteristics of the road.
The different modules of ÍCARO application are described as follows:
GEOMETRY: It shows, graphically and numerically, geometrical data of superelevation, slope, radius of curvature, visibility distance and all the transversal profile measures.
INVENTORY: It includes a database with elements such as: road markings, vertical signs, annexed elements, the surroundings, milestones, geographical references, bridges and tunnels of the road. Each one of them has a personalized file allowing updated information related to their characteristics, condition, inspections and works.
PAVEMENTS: The continuous updating of information in this area gives the possibility to know the current structure of roads, as well as the record of all the works carried out in the pavement, with its characteristics such as work date, used materials, name of the company that carried out the work…
AUSCULTATION: All measures taken by high performance vehicles can be consulted: historical, statistical values etc., of structural and functional characteristics of the pavement.
ROAD SECURITY: With all the information related to accidents, ÍCARO gives the possibility to automatically obtain black spots, Risk and Mortality index so as to analyze road security.
TRAFFIC: It´s possible to consult counting stations data of the road. All the provided information allows an automatic calculation of the service level of the whole network.
CONSULTATIONS: It represents a potential tool that easily allows the gathering of all the application information. Consultations can be made of any area, though the main function of this tool is to make cross consultations of different areas. Thus, it´s possible to quickly obtain specific data in tables (exportable to Excel) which can also be represented in the cartography obtaining maps that can be included in reports.
DIVISION INTO STRETCHES: It provides tools to divide the road into homogeneous stretches. Each one of them will be characterized by statistical values so as that the current and future situation can be analyzed.
PAVEMENT EXPERT MANAGEMENT: Once the quality level is determined, it´s possible to obtain conservation as well as auscultation action plans adapted to the technical needs of the organization exploiting a network. These needs which are based on auscultation parameters evolution can be subsequently adapted to the annual available budget.
ROUTINE CONSERVATION: It gives the possibility to manage working reports and incidences of the network. Updated information makes it easy to obtain detailed invoices and reports facilitating and expediting road conservation and management process.
In total, the company has several pavement management systems in more than 47.000 kilometers in different road networks of the world.
