EuroRoadS Final WorkshopBrussels27th June 2006 Perspectives from CEDR Jon Harrod Booth Consultant
Who is CEDR? Brussels, 27 June 2006
Purpose & Role of CEDR • An “industry” grouping of National Roads Administrations • 18 countries represented • Primary roles • Share information & knowledge • Develop & share best practice/European approaches • Act as an industry representative group with EC Brussels, 27 June 2006
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) Brussels, 27 June 2006
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 Brussels, 27 June 2006
What Next? • What is the commercial / legislative imperative for the Roads Administrations • Standard? Directive? • RADEF experience Brussels, 27 June 2006
