Infrastructure Decision Support (IDS) is part of IPWEA NZ and provides infrastructure management industry support to New Zealand public asset owners – local councils and road controlling authorities.
IDS is the sole distributor of the Deighton dTIMS software in New Zealand.
The New Zealand dTIMS project has been a 16-year partnership between New Zealand public infrastructure engineers and Deighton to develop suitable optimized decision modeling for New Zealand public assets. Currently, IDS provides decision models for road and water utility assets.
Back in January 2014 Derek Roux, representing IDS and I caught up in Auckland at the University of Auckland School of Engineering laboratory to look at the Deighton Water Model. My thanks to the University of Auckland for their assistance and cooperation.
The Deighton Water Model, which is shown in the video above illustrates how the optimized decision model works.
In the video, Derek explains the Deighton Water Model and then Derek and I discussed optimized decision-making.
The video provides a good basic introduction to infrastructure asset management optimised decision-making. This video was first shown publicly at the the RIMS/IDS Conference, held in Christchurch March 26th/27th 2014.
This video is part of Inframanage’s video series on an infrastructure asset management tool practitioners can use to undertake their work.
The New Zealand IDS dTIMS project has been a success story for optimized decision-making here in New Zealand.
As an industry, we are achieving real gains in understanding and deployed management tactics as a result of the project.
If you are interested in the possible deployment of this tool in your own work then you are encouraged to seek appropriate professional advice so to understand your requirements and determine the suitability of the software and tools to your requirements.
Please direct any enquiries regarding the dTIMS models to IDS in New Zealand or to Deighton worldwide.
