Road Networks & Data Management

CEDR represents a cross-section of road administrations, who are: Infrastructure providers &

managers Have early insight on changes

to road network; Hold “as-built” plans; Must manage the network in

real-time (models correct from day 1)

CEDR in EuroRoadS

Are the prime “Data Providers” in the EuroRoadS model

Key to the success of the EuroRoadS concept

Brussels, 27 June 2006

Thoughts on EuroRoads

Suitable technical approach – “a good starting point”

Genuine concerns/problems around defining the road network model Currently many national (strategic) road network

models are not EuroRoadS/ISO 19100 compliant – the lack of a shared road generalisation definition standard causes problems (UK, GE, DK, BE)

CEDR members would like to participate in a wider trial

Brussels, 27 June 2006

Thoughts on EuroRoads

Commercial framework needs investigation Public authorities want to supply to public and

commercial mapping suppliers alike May demand data & systems the PRAs do not have

Concerns about cost/benefit of this against competing demands

Data quality need remains an issue

A formal Standard needs development ISO/CEN? Proactive on-going dialogue between Mapping

Agencies and PRAs

What Next?

What is the commercial / legislative imperative for the Roads Administrations Standard? Directive? RADEF experience
