The Time-Location Schedule

The time-location schedule is a graphical representation that allows visualising the progress of project activities by combining two dimensions: time and space.

Unlike the Gantt chart, which represents activities only according to a temporal logic, the time-location schedule highlights the position of activities along a linear alignment or within a geographic area. It therefore becomes possible to understand not only when the work takes place, but also where it occurs.

This representation is particularly suited to linear projects and operations where spatial organisation plays a major role:

• transport infrastructure
• utility networks
• earthworks
• tunnels
• urban developments

By combining the time and spatial dimensions, the time-location schedule makes it possible to:

• visualise the progression of teams along an alignment
• identify spatial conflicts between activities
• analyse intervention sequences
• optimise the sequencing of works

In Tilos360, the time-location schedule is a central tool for understanding site dynamics and improving coordination between different activities.

The following sections present the different elements used to configure and use this representation.
