TD MANAGEMENT PG PLANNING THE NETWORK Future Needs for Performance Indicators & Road Data

Base Data Referenced Network Performance Indicators Strategic Decisions Base Data Referenced Network Performance Indicators Strategic Decisions

CONSEQUENCES FOR CEDR (EUROPEAN LEVEL)  Monitoring Progress ⇔ Objectives of EU Transport Policy (EC Transport White Paper)  Requirement for Revision Reports on TERN status (+ Other European request for information)

STRATEGIC PLAN OBJECTIVES (1) M8:  Bring together P.I. in a coherent way, in a consistant format at a high level of quality across the CEDR area, as well as improve TERN and road asset statistics  Develop a set of indicators which perfectly meets the needs expressed by the NRAs, thereby allowing road directors to benchmark their network

STRATEGIC PLAN OBJECTIVES (2)  M2: –Promote best practice in the management of road data, the definition of reference systems, and the exchange of data  M3: –Make CEDR members aware of the consequences of new trends on the general network policy within the EU –Promote the improvement of existing networks

PG PLANNING THE NETWORK PILOT PROJECTS  TERN Location Referencing  Performance Indicators for the TERN ⇒Due mid 2006 ⇒Future needs for road data/PI

Route of TERN Location Referencing Pilot

PILOT PROJECT 1 LOCATION REFERENCING Base Data Referenced Network Performance Indicators Strategic Decisions Base Data Referenced Network Performance Indicators Strategic Decisions

PILOT 1: LOCATION REFERING BACKGROUND (1)  A robust location referencing model is needed –for the implementation of PI –that meets the NRAs needs –that ensures consistency when networks are changing over time  NRAs are required to supply information to the EC

PILOT 1: LOCATION REFERING BACKGROUND (2)  The consequences of having no commonly accepted referencing model are: –difficulties to report consistently on the TERN –exchange and comparison of data are difficult –comparison of reports over time may be difficult

PILOT 1: LOCATION REFERING BACKGROUND (4 STEPS)  Launched by former SG RD  Design and develop a model (2002)  Proof of concept (2004)  Pilot project (2006) –Means for implementation –Adjustment of model –Examples  Practical implementation (2007 and later)

PILOT 1: LOCATION REFERING CONCLUSIONS (1)  The location referencing method: –can be used by different countries to reference TERN –is robust stable –can accommodate changes to the physical network –should include date attributes –should have fixed modes

PILOT 1: LOCATION REFERING CONCLUSIONS (2)  Aggregation rules: –will be a matter for NRAs –will depend on the data types and on the objectives  The method is applicable on all networks ⇒ The TERN location referencing method may become a common European standard

PILOT PROJECT 2 PERFORMANCE INDICATORS Base Data Referenced Network Performance Indicators Strategic Decisions Base Data Referenced Network Performance Indicators Strategic Decisions

P2: PERFORMANCE INDICATORS DOMAINS COVERED –Amount of traffic –Amount of transport –Speed limit –Number of accidents (with injuries) –Number of fatalities –Congestion hours

P2: PERFORMANCE INDICATORS CONCLUSIONS (1) –It is possible to produce PI from existing data –Lack of consistency → Number of PI is limited –Identifying and extracting are easier if the data are hold within the NRA –No consensus on a definition of condition data –Agreement of reporting requirements would help data extraction

P2: PERFORMANCE INDICATORS CONCLUSIONS (2)  A wider range of indicators is possible if: –additional data are available –the process is different  Business case is needed (based on the implementation options)
