1 Introduction

As part of Cornwall Council’s Highways Maintenance Manual (HMM) this specific document focuses on the management of Cornwall’s highways Transportation Technology asset. It is managed in the same way as other parts of the highway network by the Highways and Infrastructure Service as part of the Economic Growth and Development directorate.

This document should be read in conjunction with the HMM and applies to transportation technology infrastructure associated with Cornwall’s adopted highway network*, the definition of which is aligned as far as practicable with the 2016 UK Roads Liaison Group (UKRLG) Code of Practice.

*For the purposes of this document the term highways excludes Public Right of Way and trunk roads within Cornwall

The types of technology infrastructure covered by this manual are those within the boundaries of the highway or which otherwise materially affect it and include:

lighting columns; lighting units attached to walls/wooden poles; heritage columns; illuminated bollards; illuminated traffic signs; traffic signals; ITS equipment (i.e. Variable Message Signs, Vehicle Activated

Signs, rising bollards); Columns and foundations; Brackets; Luminaires; Control equipment, cables, control gear and switching.

The principles and procedures outlined in this manual are applied in order for Cornwall’s highway technology assets to be inspected and maintained as far as reasonably practicable to underpin the provision of a safe and reliable highway network.

This document sets out where it is considered that the local management practice in Cornwall departs from recommendations in the national code of practice. It also defines the risk based approach for technology infrastructure which is aligned with the overall HMM.

2 Management Context

2.1 Document Objectives The objective of Cornwall’s Highway Management Manual for Transportation Technology is to;

encourage delivery of the right quality and amount of technology in the right place and at the right time;

to support a risk based approach for technology infrastructure that is suitably recorded and documented;

deliver value for money through the adoption of appropriate technology

encourage the development, adoption and regular review of polices for technology operation and maintenance, consistent with the wider principles of integrated transport, crime reduction, sustainability and best value;

encourage harmonisation of technology maintenance practice, where this is consistence with user expectations, whilst retaining reasonable diversity to accommodate local requirements; and

encourage the adoption of an efficient and robust approach in the collection, processing and recording of technology asset inventory and condition data for the purpose of local and national needs assessment, including: scenario planning and investment modelling; management; performance monitoring; and electricity purchase.

2.2 Maintenance Strategy The maintenance strategy is based on gathering condition information on technology infrastructure through a programme of general, principal and specialist inspections. This information is then evaluated in order to prioritise subsequent maintenance work.

The objectives of the strategy are as far as reasonably practical to;

• deliver the statutory obligations of the authority; • be responsive to the needs of stakeholders and the community; • provide effective management of the highway technology asset; • support highway management strategy and integrated transport

objectives; • support and add value where possible to wider policy objectives; and • highlight those risks to the Council in setting service levels.

Aligned with the HMM this document sets out service standards for highway transportation technology maintenance by inventory set. These standards are derived from the levels of service as defined in the HMM which identifies


5

UN

CO

NTR

OLL

ED C

OPY

and allocates risk by setting particular levels of service standards and recording how changes between these standards feeds into the service and corporate risk registers. The service level information can be found in Section 4.

2.3 Health and Safety The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, together with the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1992 and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM) require highway authorities to carry out work in a safe manner and establish arrangements for the management of construction works.

2.4 Conservation Requirements Where existing heritage lighting has been installed to comply with conservation requirements Cornwall Council endeavour to keep with the same style lantern as and when units require replacement

2.5 Management of Risk The management of highway technology infrastructure maintenance, including the establishment of regimes for inspection, setting standard conditions, determining priorities and programmes for effective asset management, and procuring services should all be undertaken against a clear and comprehensive understanding and assessment of the risks and consequences involved.

The most commonly understood risks affecting the service relate to the safety of the network and accident, injury or health risks to users and employees. The principles and practice involved in managing these crucially important risks are dealt with in detail by the Code of Practice and have been developed in this Manual.

Any risks in setting service levels or amendments to those due to unforeseen events will be highlighted within a local risk register and where applicable fed into the service risk register and ultimately the corporate risk register as described within the HMM.

2.6 Structure Hierarchy Cornwall has an established hierarchy for carriageways, footways and cycle ways and these are documented within the HMM Section 1.4.1.

For the purpose of this maintenance plan the highways electrical infrastructure hierarchy is divided into two groups and detailed in the following tables. The concept of this street lighting and traffic signal system infrastructure hierarchy allows for a foundation of a consistent service driven and auditable maintenance strategy.

3 Asset Management

3.1 Principles and Considerations Highway technology asset management systems are used to support the following functions;

collection, storage and retrieval of inventory data and condition data; works management and prioritisation; production and reporting of national and local performance data; deterioration modelling and life cycle planning; management and storage, in electronic format, of drawings,

photographs and reports; identify different cleaning intervals for assets with different

conditions; and identify different routine maintenance intervals for assets with

different conditions

These systems are kept up to date by Cornwall Council Transport and Technology team as well as the term maintenance contractor and are used to store asset data inspection records and maintenance activities.

Unmetered energy management of streetlighting is also managed through the system. This allows for the proper establishment and maintenance of unmetered supply inventories and easy identification/rectification of irregularities or discrepancies within our data and the Distribution Network Operators (DNO).

3.2 Central Management Systems The aforementioned functions are provided and delivered in Cornwall by the provision of a number of electronic management systems:

1. The main CMS is Lighting Management System (LMS). This is a computerised asset management system initially used for the management of all street lighting and illuminated traffic signs, and more recently the inclusion of traffic signals, electronic signs and other ITS equipment included in the Integrated Technologies Contract (ITC).

The system provides: management of the asset inventory control of all works instruction linking to dynamic budget

management asset risk modelling and condition survey management control of safety inspection and defect repair management of un-metered energy supplies geographical asset information system; and data needed to monitor and manage budgeting and Best

Value Performance Indicators

2. A CMS specific for lighting called Vizion is used to provide remote dynamic control of individual streetlights. The system enables the


8

CO

NTR

OLL

ED C

OPY

authority to set dimming profiles for energy saving as well as monitoring and reporting faults to the contractor for repair. The system is also used to calculate energy consumption for streetlighting via an export which is sent to the DNO each month.

Although the system is capable of switching streetlights off, this is not something Cornwall Council utilises as a trial found that part-night switching significantly reduces the life of the lamp thereby increasing maintenance costs.

3. Due to the vast array of technological equipment contained within the ITC, Cornwall Council has recently implemented a new CMS to integrate all technologies into one system, Cloud Amber. Cloud Amber has several modules which provide different functions;

a) Argonaut is the heart of the system where all asset information is collated. This module enables users to create strategies, linking different asset information together. The asset types included in the system are as follows;

Signalised junctions; Pedestrian crossings; Real time passenger information (RTPI); Variable message signs (VMS); Automatic number plate recognition cameras (ANPR); Highway CCTV; Weather stations; Rising bollards; Air quality monitors; Car park detection/counters; Traffic road works and incidents; Public events; and Rail link data.

An example of a strategy that could be used is using journey time data from ANPR cameras to display appropriate messages on the VMS to encourage road users to use a particular route/mode of transport (P&R or cycle).

b) Icarus collates all bus information and displays real time data. It enables users to see exact locations of buses and if they are running to schedule. The data is used for predictions on arrival time at stops within the county and is displayed on the RTPI signs on street.

c) Juno is used for traffic signal priority (TSP). Traffic signal sites are configured within Juno with the bus location data from Icarus to force/hold traffic signals green to allow the bus priority through the junction. TSP can and may be added to emergency vehicles in the future if the need arises.

OPY

d) Apollo is the fault management module of the system that takes the fault information from Argonaut and pushes it through to the contractor for action.

The Cloud Amber system as a whole enables the authority to combine the data generated within each module to provide traffic managers with a better overview of the county’s traffic situation and enable them to automate strategies to alleviate congestion hot spots. The system also provides supporting information to assist the public in journey time planning, monitoring of particular objectives of the Local Transport Plan and identifying modal shifts in traffic patterns while delivering meaningful, timely and accurate information via a webpage and App facility. A pictogram of how the Cloud Amber system links in with LMS is shown in Appendix A.

LMS remains the main asset management system. Via regular interaction in the form of file sharing, LMS inventory data will update both Vizion and Cloud Amber. Contract management compliance reports are produced from LMS so it is important this system remains up to date and the main inventory source with accurate history.

Key performance indicators are reported on monthly, quarterly and annually. The specific details are shown in Appendix B.

4 Asset Condition and Investigatory Levels The establishment of an effective regime of inspection, assessment and monitoring is the most crucial component of an effective highway electrical maintenance strategy, each aspect of the maintenance regime needs to be founded on the key objectives;

a) Network Safety i) Complying with statutory obligations ii) Meeting user’s needs for safety

b) Network Serviceability (Availability & Accessibility) i) Ensuring availability ii) Achieving integrity iii) Maintaining reliability iv) Enhancing condition

c) Network Sustainability (Environment) i) Minimising cost over time ii) Maximising value to the community iii) Maximising environmental contribution

d) Customer Service i) Delivering satisfaction ii) Providing effective consultation and communication iii) Providing efficient enquiry and complaints management

4.1 Monitoring for Inoperative Technology Assets Cornwall Council implements a variety of procedures to identify failed technology assets so that faults and urgency of response can be risk assessed.

4.1.1 Types of Maintenance There are three types of maintenance that contribute to the core objectives in identifying inoperative assets.;

1. Reactive maintenance Reactive maintenance is undertaken in response to inspections, complaints or emergencies. The action taken may vary depending upon the nature of the defect and includes making safe, provide initial temporary repair or provide permanent repair.

2. Routine maintenance Routine maintenance is carried out on a regular basis such as structural and electrical inspections, bulk replacement of lamps and power factor capacitors and controller maintenance.

3. Programmed maintenance Programmed maintenance consists of works which form part of a yearly or longer programme and primarily consist of minor works or replacement of a particular asset.

UN

CO

NTR

OLL

ED C

OPY

The activities associated with each type of maintenance are detailed in Appendix C

4.1.2 Central Management Systems CMS remotely monitor technology equipment and automatically reports faults to the authority’s contractor for repair. The contractor must also complete a manual “daily health check” of all systems to verify links to the systems are working and therefore faults reporting correctly.

For the few remaining streetlights not on the CMS a monthly night scout is completed to ensure the units are working correctly.

4.1.3 Public Interaction Via a call handling centre members of the public are able to report mechanical faults such as;

Vandalism; Overhanging trees and vegetation; Vehicle damage; Missing doors/open cabinets; Unsecure fixings; and Misaligned brackets/luminaires/heads.

All reports are recorded in LMS to ensure the contractor attends appropriately and to prevent duplication of attendance.

4.2 Response Times Response times for reactive maintenance varies depending on asset type and are detailed in Appendix D. Where the contractor fails to meet the response time of a fault a penalty applies as per the ITC contract rules.

4.3 Emergency Service Call centre staff are appropriately trained to ensure emergency faults are verbally communicated through the Transport and Technology team or contractor to ensure the incident is properly tracked and recorded to reduce the risk of further damage, to equipment and members of the public. Specific details of how faults are dealt with can be found in the Out of Hours Booklet, Appendix E.

5 Inspection, Assessment and Recording An effective regime of inspection, assessment and monitoring is the most crucial component of an effective highway maintenance strategy, incorporating network safety, serviceability and sustainability.

5.1 Inspection and Testing Inspections are also important in the case of network safety where information may be crucial in respect of legal actions. A robust inspection regime forms a central part of an authority’s defence against claims and legal proceedings.

5.1.1 Safety Inspections The purpose of safety inspections is to identify defects likely to be hazardous or cause serious inconvenience to users of the highway network or the communities served, including defects requiring urgent attention. They are undertaken to meet the key objective of Network Safety.

5.1.2 Service Inspections Service inspections comprise a more detailed inspection tailored to identify issues that may have an effect on the reliability, quality, comfort and ease of use of the road network. The service inspection is intended to meet the key objective of Network Serviceability.

5.1.3 Specialist Inspections Specialist inspections comprise of more detailed specific inspections of particular highway elements to ensure that they meet the key objectives of Network Serviceability and Sustainability. It is often necessary for inspectors to have specialist knowledge in a particular field and may require the use of specialist equipment.

5.1.4 Condition Assessment The purpose of condition assessment is to address the key objective of Network Sustainability and to ensure that value for money is achieved when undertaking structural, electrical or operational maintenance work. This requires information on the nature and severity of deterioration in order to determine the timing and nature of the most appropriate treatment or solution. To achieve this condition surveys are undertaken which include:

Visual inspections Detailed Structural Inspection Detailed Electrical Inspection Detailed Operational Inspection

Specialist inspections Support Structural Strength Testing Electrical Diagnostic Testing

NTR

OLL

OPY

The inspection regimes for all highway technology equipment is shown in Appendix F. This information will be stored within a database in a systematic format either by the use of data capture devices (DCD’s) or by standard forms.

5.3 Reliability of Data Specialist equipment and surveys will be utilised to measure the condition of the technology assets in order to provide assessments of overall performance, maintenance requirements and relevant data for national performance indicators.

5.4 Competence When undertaking inspections or responding to reported incidents a judgement has to be made with regards to categorising any observed defects and the consequential responses required. Every decision could be critical to the safety of users and may potentially be subject to legal scrutiny in the event of an accident occurring at or near the site. Consequently it is important that contractor staff are competent, provided with appropriate training and guidance in undertaking these tasks, including guidance on items to be inspected and the application of risk management in determining the degree of deficiency.

5.5 Recording of Information Records of all visual, structural and electrical testing are recorded in LMS for all asset areas within the highway technology infrastructure.

Reports produced from the record data provide a list of actions required using the following traffic light system;

Category Asset Management Priority Ranking

Action

HIGH Programme emergency works or Programme works within 12 week period

MEDIUM TO HIGH Programme remedial works within 24 week period

MEDIUM TO LOW Monitor and re-inspect within 18 months week period or re-categorise

ACCEPTABLE No action but to re-inspect within cyclic frequency

The reports are produced after the maintenance has been completed and passed to the authority’s compliance officer(s) to confirm the work suggested is required and issue works instructions accordingly.

6 Programming and Priorities

6.1 Principles A well-designed risk based cyclic maintenance programme has the following benefits;

help to prevent the performance of the technology installation falling below the designed level;

identify and mechanical, structural, electrical or optical work necessary to maintain or increase the life of the installation;

may reduce the incidence of faults; and check the installation is safe

6.2 Management of Maintenance It is important to have information and data about the progress and operation of the service including items such as:

• Analysis of trends; • Specific component failure; • Re-occurring faults; • Response times and performance; and • Geographical trends

The inventory can be split into several subject areas:

Geographic data A record of the road or area on which the lighting/ signal systems are situated and the standard of operation provided.

Apparatus data A record of equipment location and type, with technical data which will remain the same unless the equipment or components are changed or modified and should be sufficient to identify types of equipment, light sources, operational hours and electricity connection arrangements. It should also include any additional information necessary to comply with BSCP520 requirements for the purchase of unmetered electricity and details of metered supplies that need to be excluded from the declared load of unmetered supplies.

Risk assessment data Data required to support the structural assessment of lighting columns, illuminated traffic sign posts and to evaluate the equipment profile with regard to the signal systems. This may also include details on access restrictions for specialist maintenance and special equipment.

Operational data A dated record of actions carried out to equipment, including routine (cyclic) and reactive maintenance, with a history of previous actions.

6.3 Design for Maintenance


16

UN

CO

NTR

OLL

ED C

OPY

All equipment used in the highway technology systems should be selected, installed, maintained and operated to give a durable and efficient performance. Each item should be assessed for its potential life, availability, cost of spares and replacements, ease of maintenance, recycling/ disposal and, when used in combination, compatibility with other components. Initial cost is important but it is the whole life costs (design,manufacturing, maintenance, energy, recycling/disposal) that should guide the selection of equipment.

When selecting equipment, the assessment process detailed in Appendix G should be followed to evaluate the entire whole cost benefits before any equipment is added to the list of approved materials for use on the highway.

At the design stage every effort should be made to limit risk to the installation, maintenance and the public. The design package should ensure that any special requirements or conditions with regard to the installation and maintenance of the equipment accompany the installation instructions. Where appropriate, a maintenance manual should be prepared and included in the Safety File, which should be updated and reviewed throughout the life of the equipment or system and be made available to the Council staff and the maintenance contractor staff or their successor in the event of a contract change.

Careful consideration of maintenance implications such as trees, access, maintenance factors, recycling and waste disposal at the design stage may provide an effective outcome, without increasing costs or introducing practical difficulties.

Examples for consideration at the design stage are;

Sustainable equipment selection such as solar power or LED units Materials requiring high frequency of maintenance visits Equipment cost benefit and fit for purpose analysis Difficulties of access to routine maintenance such as mast arms,

traffic bollards and isolated footways Traffic routes with a higher rate of deterioration to equipment or

systems; such as lighting on salting routes or close to the sea front

Design standards provision for all new highway electrical schemes will be in accordance with the following requirements:

for Lighting Systems – European Lighting Code prEN13201 or the revised BS5489:2003 parts 1 and 2. However discretion may be applied where concerns about excessive light trespass are expressed
