Vegetation Management
Use Vegetation Management to understand and assess the state of vegetation across your entire service area and identify the high-risk circuits or corridors that might be impacted by vegetation overgrowth.
Vegetation Management uses geospatial data and analytics to assess the state of vegetation and its proximity to your assets. Using Vegetation Management, you can quickly identify high risk areas, prioritize your efforts, and make the best planning decisions for your teams and your customers.
Watch the following video to learn more about the features of Vegetation Management.
Monitor vegetation
Vegetation Management is configured with a set of attributes and key performance indicators (KPIs) to help you easily monitor vegetation and identify areas where vegetation and tree growth might pose a threat.
In the Map, which is shown in Figure 1, and the List views, you can inspect your service area at different boundary levels.
Boundary levels represent the hierarchy of your service area. The four default boundary levels from highest to lowest are territory, region, corridor, and corridor segment. You can customize the boundary levels based on your operational needs.
Prioritize and plan maintenance
In the Map and List views, you can track the vegetation and priority scores for a specific area or corridor. The vegetation score represents the current need to manage vegetation for a selected area, and the priority score represents the urgency. The scores are calculated by an algorithm that is based on your vegetation data and KPIs. You can use these scores to predict future hazards and plan preventive maintenance.
When you identify the high risk areas, you can export the relevant data to share with your teams and import into your work management system.
