Transportation
From strategic highways to local roads, rail and light transit systems, transport infrastructure is evolving rapidly, with rising service demands, tighter budgets, and growing pressure to improve resilience and sustainability.
AIM helps operators and consultants optimise asset investment across both rail and road networks. It supports detailed risk-based planning, rapid scenario testing, and defensible strategies that align with business, safety, and regulatory goals.
Rail & Light Transport
AIM helps rail and transit authorities manage ageing infrastructure, rising passenger expectations and evolving safety standards. From rolling stock and stations to signalling and track assets, AIM supports investment decisions that prioritise reliability, compliance and long-term value, all while managing cost, performance and risk across the network.
Highways & Roads
For highways agencies and road operators, AIM enables data-driven investment across carriageways, bridges, tunnels and more. It supports scenario modelling at both tactical and strategic levels, helping teams balance safety, service levels and cost-efficiency while planning for environmental targets and increased scrutiny under regulatory frameworks.
Supports strategic asset management across the network.
AIM enables national and local transport authorities to plan, prioritise, and justify capital investment across all asset types, from pavements and structures to drainage, lighting and corridor infrastructure.
By combining asset data with risk modelling, performance forecasting, and scenario planning, AIM helps organisations build robust, transparent business cases aligned with frameworks like HDM-4, SAVI, and local performance standards.

In use: From strategy to delivery
Transport organisations use AIM to develop long-term capital strategies, support funding submissions, and optimise delivery across complex networks.

Authorities and operators embed AIM into their planning processes to ensure their investment plans are data-driven, regulator-aligned, and adaptable to future needs.
AIM enables
- More resilient and reliable infrastructure
- Justifiable, cost-effective investment decisions
- Better risk management across asset types
- A more strategic approach to long-term performance
In a sector where demands are growing but resources are finite, AIM helps transport organisations get the most from every pound spent.
