Aurora is Symology’s flagship platform for managing the full D-TRO lifecycle, from application and consultation to publication and consumption. It supports both Temporary TROs (TTROs) and, increasingly, Permanent TROs, with a roadmap aligned to DfT’s evolving standards.
ApplyForIt: Streamlined TTRO Applications and Payments
Aurora’s ApplyForIt portal allows external users, such as utility companies and contractors, to apply for TTROs directly through a user-friendly web interface. Applicants can submit key details, upload supporting documents, and even make payments online, thanks to integrated fee management. This eliminates the need for manual email submissions and reduces administrative overhead for organisations.
Once submitted, Aurora’s workflow capabilities speed up the management of TTRO applications via automated actions, such as emailing populated document templates to the applicant, requiring no manual intervention. In addition, edit options and task scheduling ensure that documents are accurate, timely, and compliant with local authority standards.
Symology’s Aurora solution offers a robust and flexible reporting package that integrates seamlessly with the Digital Traffic Regulation Orders (D-TRO) solution, enabling organisations to manage traffic orders with greater efficiency and transparency, also working with external platforms like Power BI. Users can generate dynamic dashboards, configure widgets, and schedule reports tailored to their operational needs. These facilities allow for granular visibility into traffic order data, including permits, inspections, and diversion routes, all of which are critical components of D-TRO workflows.
Symology’s D-TRO service has transformed how we manage traffic orders, it’s intuitive, timesaving, and keeps everything seamlessly connected. The automation tools are a game-changer for our team.
What if we don’t currently have a public facing web portal?
No problem, you can also raise your D-TRO or TTRO application directly from a Street Works permit within Aurora. This will also allow you to automatically conflict check against other works and applications cross boundary to minimise disruption to the road network.
ViewIt: Visualising Diversions and Works Together
TTROs and associated diversion routes can be created directly on Aurora’s interactive map, where diversions can be plotted with simple point and route tools, linked to specific works or permits. This visual clarity helps organisations to coordinate more effectively and avoid conflicts. ViewIt spatially presents works and road closures to members of the public, offering visibility and transparency of current and future network occupancy within the local authority’s boundary.
Integration with the DfT D-TRO Service
Aurora is fully integrated with the DfT’s D-TRO service, enabling:
Publishing TTROs: Aurora sends TTROs, including diversion routes, directly to the DfT’s central repository. This ensures that third-party platforms can access the data without the need for duplicate entry.
Consuming D-TROs: Aurora users can view all published TTROs and TROs, using filters by date, type, or status. This is especially valuable for works promoters who need to plan around existing restrictions.
Consultee and Stakeholder Management
Aurora simplifies stakeholder engagement by allowing users to add consultees to each D-TRO application. Automated notifications and document sharing ensure that everyone stays informed throughout the process.
Financial and Workflow Automation
Aurora supports full financial tracking, including applicant charges and payment status. Tasks and deadlines are automatically generated to keep the process on track, and communication tools allow users to send emails and documents directly from the platform.
As we continue to evolve our Digital Traffic Regulation Orders (D-TRO) service within Aurora, our commitment remains clear, to simplify traffic order management, enhance data accuracy, and empower local authorities with intuitive, integrated tools. Whether you’re looking to streamline TTRO applications, visualise diversion routes alongside works, or publish and consume data seamlessly via the DfT portal, Symology’s D-TRO solution is built to support your journey.
