Abstract
The invention provides a graphical user interface implemented on a computer including an information area for displaying to a user at the computer inspection status information in connection with one or more components of a linear asset infrastructure. The graphical user interface also includes a control component operable by the user at the computer to cause the graphical user interface to display additional information on the one or more components of the linear asset infrastructure.
Claims9
1) A method for managing an inspection process in connection with linear assets of a linear assets infrastructure, the method including:
- a) storing in a database entries associated with respective components of the linear assets infrastructure;
- b) associating an inspection due date with each entry;
- c) driving an inspection status indicator in a graphical user interface which provides an indication to a human operator of the inspection status of the component associated with the entry at least in part on the basis of the inspection due date.
9) A system for assisting a user to manage an inspection process in connection with linear assets of a linear assets infrastructure, the system including:
- a) a database storing:
- i) entries associated with respective components of the linear assets infrastructure;
- ii) inspection due date data associated with each entry;
- b) a graphical user interface implemented on a computing device which provides an inspection status indicator, the inspection status indicator providing information to the user on the inspection status of the component associated with the entry;
- c) program code for driving the inspection status indicator at least in part on the basis of the inspection due date data.
