1-860 TSES: Open API Consultancy support
This sits in the upper-middle of the Research & Development band — a substantial contract for the sector. Based on 20,405 valued Research & Development tenders in our corpus.
The future DMRB project has invested in the development of a Technical Standard Enterprise System (TSES) to support the standards drafting process, and the TSES Index to store the DMRB in a structured database format.
This project is seeking the enhancement of the TSES to recognise some of the post-publication benefits that can be unlocked from making the DMRB available in a machine-readable format.
The Open API project is a key part of Highways England's Digital Roads Vision and provides the connector between the TSES and human-aided engineering applications.
By creating an Open API to Technical Requirements, Highways England will recognise the transformative benefits of automation across the lifecycle of our assets.
The API will allow direct integration with engineering, planning and execution systems and will see changes to requirements instantly propagated throughout the delivery of major projects and operations.
A digital world where the Design and Construction Requirements (the Future DMRB and MCHW) are used directly by design modelling software to design and by automated machines/robots to construct new and improved roads.
The benefits we are targeting include: - Expediate project delivery and increase efficiency - Improve safety by minimising human exposure to a hazardous construction activity - Increase customer satisfaction by minimising delays in construction - Reduce overall project costs - More consistent, quality construction - Ability to adapt to a rapidly changing demand (autonomous vehicles, electrification of the road network etc. - Overcoming the industry wide skills shortage
