TILOS reached the end of maintenance on 1 March 2026. Aimavera draws the time-location chart straight from the CPM schedule - location across, time down, each activity a line where the crew advances or a block where it works - in the browser, on the same file you send to P6.

Add two numeric activity user fields named Start Chainage and End Chainage (station, km or KP work too) and each activity sits at its real position. Without them, each top-level WBS section is a lane.
View › Linear: lines for moving crews, blocks for work in place, critical work in red, everything else coloured by its discipline code, and the data date across it.
On a road, a railway or a pipeline the question is not only when but where: whether two crews will meet in the same section, whether a slow earthworks crew will hold up the drainage behind it. A time-location chart shows that as lines that converge. AACE recommended practice 129R-23 sets out the method.
Because the view is drawn from the CPM schedule itself, it changes as the logic does: edit a duration in the grid and the line moves. There is no export to a second tool and no second file to keep in step.
No. It works from the P6 or MS Project schedule that TILOS drew from.
No. Activities with chainage are placed by it and the rest are counted and left out of the chart; with no chainage fields at all, top-level WBS sections become the lanes.
Not yet. Productivity slopes, cut-and-fill diagrams and graphical editing on the chart are not built. Lines, blocks, colours by discipline, the critical path and the data date are.
No. It is read and drawn in your browser.
