NZ-DRA A Digital Road Atlas for New Zealand Kim Ollivier Ollivier & Co
Just Do It • What? • A maintained spatial database of the NZ road network and places. • When? • Build on existing open sets: LINZ, NZOpenGPS.org • Start now with an existing schema and data • Why? • Suitable for multiple purposes, govt and pvte • How? • Model on Canadian DRA1, DRA2, Geobase
Existing Road Databases Closed: • NRCD – Terralink • NationalMap2 – Critchlow • SmartMap – Geosmart/AA • RAMM – CJN Technology Open: • OSM - Open Street Map • NZOpenGPS - Garmin focus • BDE Road - LINZ cadastral • ASP - Authoritative Streets & Places • Suburb - NZ Fire Service
Essential Features • Simple Flexible Design • Open Access • Achievable Accuracy, +/- 10 m, 90% • Multi-level detail and purpose • Time stamped edits • Feedback from relevant authorities • Regulation to “encourage” collaboration of local and central govt
DRA Data Model • Spatial: street intersections and road linework are stored as spatial entities • Temporal: data is versioned and has a lifespan • Conflation: Boundaries match road linework
Spatial Query Intersection node at each segment junction
Managing time • Admit and retire dates provide lifespan for each element • Queries by date allow extraction of data from any vintage
Temporal query • Black roads vintage November 2001 • Pink roads vintage March 2003
Boundary Conflation Police zone from independent layer
Boundary Conflation Conflated zone
Where 2.0 : TeleAtlas Only regulatory activity attributes
DRA Tools • Intelligent data conditioning: Feature Manipulation Engine (FME), Java Conflation Suite (JCS) • Storage: PostgreSQL object relational database with PostGIS spatial extension • Table updates: SQL and ODBC • Programming: C++, Visual Basic, Perl • Manual spatial manipulation: Arc Tools • Visualization: Web Mapping, Geocoder • Updates/Issues: Bug tracking software
Canadian National Road Network Defines “State of the Art for National Datasets” www.geobase.ca
DRA1 -> DRA2 -> NRN2 • Integrates 7 yrs of monthly snapshots • Facilitates provision of data and specialized services to numerous clients • Built on innovative, integrated technology and toolsets
Data Quality • Accuracy - of what? • Completeness? • Geocoding -False Positives -False Negatives • Address Standards exist -but are widely ignored “If they are fit for their intended uses in operations, decision making and planning.” “If they correctly represent the real-world construct to which they refer.”

High precision is no use for DRA “The myth that more precision is better and better” – Perry Evans, Mapquest, Where 2.0 2009 • 3G Cellphones ~200m triangulation • Basemaps ~100m short form coordinates • GPS Vehicle navigation ~25m uncorrected • DRA specification ~10m (90%) • Place is more important than Location
Statistical Accuracy False Positives False negatives Completeness Score = Relevant Relevant + Missing Accuracy Score = Relevant - Errors Relevant Overall Score = Relevant - Errors Relevant + Missing
Achievable Goals • DRA specification: 90% within 10 m • Lucky to get 90% attributes filled in • Even luckier to get 70% right NAR : required 99.5% attribute correctness
Typical Applications • Road user charges offroad refunds • Street map atlases by publishers • Civil defence • Reliable address location • Routable network • Tourism
National Model Needs a champion to drive it It cannot be done by the private sector alone • Level 1 DRA in 2009? • Level 2 DRA in 2010?
