AppyWay partners to manage UK traffic regulations and the kerb
It is integrating its kerbside and traffic regulation tool with Brightly Software’s Confirm system to support digitisation of UK highway authorities’ operations.
At a glance
Who: AppyWay; Brightly Software.
What: The companies are partnering to support UK highway authorities in managing digital traffic regulation orders (D-TROs) and kerbside infrastructure more effectively.
Why: To enable UK local authorities to manage highway assets and the traffic orders that affect them through connected systems.
When: UK highway authorities are preparing for government requirements that state new traffic regulation orders need to be published digitally, which are expected to come into force this year.
Digital traffic solutions specialist AppyWay is partnering with Brightly Software, a Siemens company, to support UK highway authorities in managing digital traffic regulation orders (D-TROs) and kerbside infrastructure more effectively.
The partnership will integrate AppyWay’s Traffic Suite software that manages kerbside and traffic regulations with Brightly Software’s Confirm asset management system. This integration will enable UK local authorities to manage highway assets and the traffic orders that affect them through connected systems.
Digital traffic regulation orders
The move comes as UK highway authorities prepare for government requirements that state new traffic regulation orders need to be published digitally where, as per the Automated Vehicles Act, authorities will need to maintain digital versions of traffic regulation orders. Regulations are expected to come into force in 2026.
AppyWay’s Traffic Suite aims to allow authorities to create, manage and publish digital traffic regulation orders using a map interface, while supporting public consultation and providing greater visibility of kerbside restrictions.
“Kerbside management and digital traffic orders are becoming critical components of modern transport networks”
When integrated with Confirm, this information can be connected to asset records, work programmes and operational activities across the highway network. The combined solution will help teams to make better operational decisions when scheduling works and maintenance.
“Kerbside management and digital traffic orders are becoming critical components of modern transport networks,” said Dan Hubert, CEO and founder, AppyWay. “Our partnership with Brightly Software allows us to connect our technology with one of the leading asset management platforms that’s used by local authorities, so overall, organisations can better manage their traffic regulations, parking infrastructure and highway assets in one connected system.”

The partnership also helps local authorities simplify procurement by providing a more unified approach to asset and kerbside management. Rather than procuring separate systems, authorities will be able to procure a complete solution from a single vendor.
The partnership will support UK local authorities where digital traffic regulation order requirements are expected to reshape how traffic management and kerbside infrastructure are planned and maintained.
By bringing together asset and kerbside data, Brightly and AppyWay aim to help communities improve their operational efficiency, support smarter mobility and create more accessible and sustainable urban environments.
“We recognise that highway authorities are under increasing pressure to digitise their services and meet new regulatory requirements,” said Chris Thompson, director of UK&I sales, Brightly Software. “By partnering with AppyWay, we can extend the capabilities of Confirm to support digital traffic regulation orders and kerbside management, thereby helping our customers to manage their networks more efficiently while preparing for upcoming legislation.”
