Digital Diversion
This contractor used ‘Digital Diversion’ to track the time in seconds it took a vehicle to take the approved diversion during a full closure of the M42, and have used the data in evidence to secure further closures.
Tracking vehicle diversion times in seconds during a full M42 closure provided precise, realtime data on traffic flow efficiency and diversion effectiveness. This granular measurement enables data-driven decision-making for planning closures, minimising disruption, and optimising traffic management strategies, rather than relying on estimates or less accurate methods.
Another aspect of this lies in leveraging this detailed data as robust evidence to secure further closures with confidence. It demonstrates a proactive, transparent approach to managing major roadworks by quantifying impacts and improvements, fostering trust with stakeholders and the public.
