RoadSpace, a UK-based company, has pioneered a unique solution for managing highway construction projects. Recognizing the need for efficient coordination and real-time communication in the field, RoadSpace developed a booking management product designed for use on highways where roadworks are taking place.
To bring this innovative idea to life, RoadSpace partnered with CMARIX, a global technology company known for its expertise in web and mobile application development. CMARIX played a crucial role in designing and developing the RoadSpace web and mobile platforms, leveraging technologies such as ASP.NET CORE, C#, and Android Native (Kotlin).
The result of this partnership is a robust platform that facilitates seamless coordination between highway workers, project managers, and control rooms across different projects. The platform's real-time features have significantly improved the efficiency and effectiveness of highway construction management.
Frequent planning delays risked deferring or dropping numerous highway enhancement projects.
Road accidents, costing the UK economy and NHS £30 billion annually, necessitated safer roadways.
The safety of smart motorways was under scrutiny, highlighting the need for proven, effective digital solutions.
