TILOS (or Time Location Software) is software for managing linear construction projects , mainly infrastructure projects. TILOS is widely used in the construction industry, including the construction of highways, railways, subways and monorails, pipelines, tunnels, power lines, as well as hydraulic engineering. TILOS is the most specialized tool for planning and managing linear construction projects.

Key Features
- Fully graphical interface for creating a time-distance diagram with full support for the critical path method, complemented by spatial and production constraints.
- A flexible viewing system allows you to adapt as much as possible to your specific tasks and display an arbitrary number of detailed plans from one or more projects in a single window to provide the required degree of detail.
- Functions of import / export data. TILOS allows you to import and attach drawings to the distance axis, as well as work and resource data, and other information, including trace profiles and performance graphs.
- Detection and prevention of conflicts in the schedule. Determination of distances between work sites and search for places of possible collisions.
- Snap to distance - TILOS calculates job parameters based on distance data. For example, railway sleepers are laid after 0.667 m. Based on the length of the section, TILOS calculates the required number of sleepers, as well as the number of transport units required for their transportation.
- A powerful tool for calculating resource requirements - TILOS allows you to configure and calculate resources based on data on the volume and timing of work, accurately simulate the progress of the construction process and determine key factors that affect the project.
- It supports the use of a library of job templates with parameters for their display and data on related resources. When you draw a line, you effortlessly set the speed of the work, determine the parameters of the task, assign resources and determine the costs associated with the work.
- Allows you to compare the planned and actual schedules of the project, find and highlight the deviations that arise.
- Allows you to create high-quality drawings at any scale, comparable to those created in CAD.
