HDM-4 Usage Article *** A new
article has been published
describing how HDM-4 was
selected for use in Tasmania
as the ‘best of breed’ tool of
choice to manage their network.
The article describes how HDM-4
was adapted to present a
defendable basis for estimating
Tasmania's long term strategic
funding needs and assisted in
the prioritisation of candidate
sites to address further
deterioration of the identified
segments and immediate safety
issues.

World
Road Congress. Mexico City - 26th
- 30th September 2011HDMGlobal
were present at the PIARC
World Road Congress 2011 in Mexico
City. There were two HDM-4
workshops organised during the
week, one introducing HDMGlobal
and HDM-4 to potential and new
users, and the second included 6
presentations from existing
HDM-4 users giving details of
how they have used the software
and their experience of applying
it to a number of projects,
mainly in South America, but one
presentation from Namibia.
These
workshops were a great success
with ~60 people attending the
first workshop, and ~130 people
attending the second.
PIARC also
kindly allocated space on
their pavillion in the
exhibition centre dedicated to
HDM-4. This enabled HDMGlobal
members Eric Stannard and Robert
Mesnard, with help from Ricardo
Solario (Mexican
Instituite of Transport) and
several of his colleagues, to
meet existing HDM-4 users and to discuss HDM-4 to
those interested in using the
software.
