TILOS Software for Linear Project Planning

TILOS Software for Linear Project Planning

TILOS is a specialist scheduling tool for linear infrastructure projects such as roads, railways, pipelines, and tunnels. Its time-location diagrams help planners visualize where activities take place, when they occur, and how they interact along a project’s route.

What Can TILOS Help You Do?

TILOS supports several important planning tasks:

1. Visualize time and location: Show activities against both project duration and distance.
2. Coordinate work sequences: Understand relationships between activities and identify potential clashes between work fronts.
3. Plan resources: Examine how resource availability and productivity affect the schedule.
4. Monitor progress: Compare planned and actual work to identify delays and support corrective action.
5. Communicate the plan: Create clear diagrams that help project teams understand the sequence and location of work.

Practical Knowledge Matters

Effective linear scheduling requires more than familiarity with software. Planners must understand construction methods, activity relationships, productivity, access restrictions, and resource constraints.

A useful learning approach combines software exercises with realistic project scenarios, helping professionals connect scheduling techniques with site requirements.

Topics Relevant to Learning TILOS

Depending on a learner’s experience and project requirements, useful topics include:

1. Understanding the interface and setting up a project.
2. Configuring time and distance scales.
3. Creating activities, relationships, and reusable templates.
4. Working with production rates, resources, and costs.
5. Preparing time-location diagrams and presentation layouts.
6. Establishing baselines and updating progress.
7. Importing and exporting supported project data.
8. Applying linear scheduling concepts to a practical example.

The time needed to develop these skills depends on prior planning experience, the scope of learning, and the complexity of the project.
