Decision Optimization Technology

Planning is a big part of your success. At Hanson, we understand that preparing for the future involves innovation and cutting-edge technology, which is why we formed Decision Optimization Technology-United States (DOT-US), a partnership with Infrastructure Solutions (Software) Inc. (ISI). With DOT-US, we distribute and continually improve the Decision Optimization Technology (DOT™) decision support solution, with the goal of proactively helping you visualize and pursue better maintenance and capital improvement plans for your businesses, projects and communities.

DOT™, an asset life-cycle modeling and investment planning solution, provides the advanced analytical capabilities and system integrations needed to reduce cost, mitigate risk and reliably achieve service-level goals across your entire asset portfolio. DOT™ delivers multi‑constraint, multi‑year optimization to help agencies identify the mathematically best combination of projects across thousands of assets. Built on more than 10 years of doctoral‑level research, its optimization engine drives performance improvements of up to 25% while significantly reducing long-term maintenance and capital expenditures.

DOT™ enhances cost efficiency by:

  • prioritizing limited funding towards assets with the greatest long-term impact
  • quantifying the cost to maintain or improve service levels over horizons from 5 to 100 years
  • employing operational efficiency analysis to reduce mobilization costs through geospatial project bundling
  • improving accuracy through predictive modeling to prevent costly errors in condition assessment
