Objectives	This development and demonstration project will provide a secure web platform accessed via any device or operating system (mobile or desktop). Locations of high impact, where traffic management is required, a Traffic Management Plan is required to be provided to the local highway authority and relevant stakeholders. This is typically a CAD drawing provided by third parties as a bought in service and follows on from site visits to discuss and agree methods of working. It will consist of: Phase one • A mapping interface containing both imagery and road network data including the Unique Street Reference Number (USRN) data. A reporting engine to automated report production of traffic management plans. A business workflow tool, configured to generate appropriate Signing Lighting & Guarding requirements. Based on data input, this could also be displayed in the map view. This is a collaboration between 1Spatial, NGN and one local authority to make sure the application meets requirements and user expectations, before extending to other local authorities. Phase one This stage will be limited to the Leeds city council area only. There will be agreed acceptance criteria for the completion of stage one. This will focus on the automated outputs produced and the process for doing so. Phase1 will focus on: • Selecting an agreed set of Chapter 8 Traffic Safety Measures and Signs for Road Works and Temporary Situations scenarios. In partnership with NGN • Writing the rules for these scenarios to automatically generate the plans • Selecting and agreeing a study area • Creating the required symbology for the plans. • Providing the ability to: o Select an area of the road network. o Based on the selection run an automated process o Produce a plan output complying to chapter 8 with correct symbology as a PDF • Provide NGN with a desktop or mobile environment they can test the scenarios in their own offices. This will be limited to three people • Demonstrate the (proof of concept) POC to interested local authorities
