La Nacion, Argentina’s leading newspaper has recently covered \u201cWhat highways are doing to improve safety<\/a>\u201d including iRAP Accredited Supplier<\/a> Autopistas Urbanas (AUSA)\u2019s use of the iRAP methodology in safety assessments of the national network.\u00a0The following is a machine translation of the article available in its online Spanish form here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

New certifications for road infrastructure<\/strong><\/p>\n

For years, Autopistas Urbanas (AUSA<\/a>) has been working to make highway management more and more efficient. To this end, the company formed an alliance with the internationally recognized International Road Assessment Program (iRAP), which works to eliminate high-risk roads, based on road safety assessment and investment recommendations to improve safety.<\/p>\n

Together, work was carried out to conduct an assessment of the network’s road infrastructure, applying the iRAP tools and methodology to improve highway safety. The road features that were taken into account include pavement surfacing, signage, lighting, safety barriers and additional attributes found in the road environment.<\/p>\n

Based on the results provided by the model, AUSA was classified as having existing road infrastructure with a good level of safety for network users. The company continues to deliver the same investment commitment in pavements and countermeasures to improve safety.<\/p>\n

AUSA maps<\/strong><\/p>\n

AUSA has been working for some time on a digital transformation in road infrastructure.\u00a0This implies a migration of the work methodology to a collaborative world of transparent information.\u00a0AUSA \u201cMaps\u201d is a digital platform, promoted and carried out by company collaborators, which unify the information on highways and their attributes, to monitor safety and know when and how to act in the event of an incident.<\/p>\n

This new workspace allows tasks to be carried out collaboratively and with more efficient results, without duplication of information, with single, consolidated and easily accessible databases.\u00a0This translates to efficiency in data consultation and its subsequent use for decision making, migrating to a “prevention culture in road maintenance”.<\/p>\n

AUSA continues to add technology to improve the safety of highways every day based on this Integrated Trace Management System, which allows detailed information to be managed more efficiently. In this way, road users are ensured the best service, with system tracking that allows for the anticipation of potential failures and the delivery of preventive and predictive maintenance work, reducing repairs to a minimum and promoting a proactive work culture.<\/p>\n
