overview

TILOS is time-location planning software for managing linear construction projects such as roads, rail lines, pipelines and tunnels. 

By connecting the geographical information with the schedule, TILOS visually displays project plans in terms of both time and distance.

This enables planners to clearly see, for example, the status of a road build project in terms of what needs to be done on each section of the road and by when. 

The time-location planning technique is also known as time-distance planning, time-chainage planning, the linear scheduling method (LSM), French diagram and march chart.

TILOS is the only system to combine the features of a drawing program with a project management system (including scheduling, resource and cost management).  TILOS can exchange data with other scheduling systems including Microsoft Project, Primavera/P3, Microsoft Excel and Asta Powerproject.
