Welcome to the SRWR

Moving the SRWR Further Forward

On 1 April last year, Symology was delighted to welcome the Scottish community to the inauguration of the new Scottish Road Works Register, with the statement "This is designed to meet the challenges of the future, including the emerging effects of the Transport (Scotland) Act 2005."

The new system represented a massive step change. It introduced dramatic new technologies, including the full power of GIS, with automated map-based coordination and work conflict detection facilities. Equally importantly, it was implemented on time, and has been totally reliable in operation. In spite of the substantial learning curve for users, the new system proved remarkably successful from the outset, and the extent of progress that has been made is a credit to the community. Scotland can be proud of operating the most advanced system of its kind in the U.K.

At the outset, Symology stated the aim to continuously develop the SRWR, in a steady controlled way, and in partnership with the Susiephone team, such that it can remain at the forefront of technology, and be highlighted as a model system throughout the world. Many enhancements were implemented into the system during the course of the first year, and Symology wish to express appreciation to all who contributed the ideas for improvement.

We are now introducing a new release, which represents the most significant step forward since the first implementation. The new release has two main purposes:

• firstly, to provide major enhancements which have been requested both by community users and by the Scottish Executive. These include a completely new GIS mapping environment, with massively improved facilities and presentation standards.
• secondly, to incorporate the functionality required for the new TSA Code of Practice, which will be used for extensive testing. These facilities will initially be "hidden" within the live system, but can be switched on at the appropriate implementation date, to provide a smooth transition to the new rules.

The new facilities are considerably more sophisticated, and offer substantial potential. The GIS functions are a particularly large step forward, and we recommend that you consider any ways in which your methods of operation can be improved to exploit the new facilities to the fullest extent. Of course, the new system is a big change for you, and we recognise that it will take time to become familiar with it. We will help you through this process in every way we can. Our support desk will provide day-to-day assistance, but we are also offering upgraded training courses, and we recommend that you take advantage of these to the fullest extent possible.
