Public access to Street and Highways Works Chris Gower GIS Director, Jacobs Babtie

Public access to Street and Highways Works Today Tomorrow The future The challenge

Today - Summary Good and not so good Different Difficult to find No cross boundary access Incomplete - Street v Road Works, Events Inaccurate – no location co-ordinates

Tomorrow Regional / National approach Seamless access Example – the EMPReSS specification

EMPReSS East Midlands Partnership Regional electronic Spatial System

Background ODPM Regional e-Government Project Inter-operable seamless services Pilot Service – Streetworks CSS Conference IM Award Winner 2004 Priority Outcome G14 solution

East Midlands Installation Operational since April LHA plus HA streetworks data 5 types of streetworks system Example asset data – bus stops

Key features Seamless cross boundary access Street and Road works etc Distributed data access Future proof:- – Uses OS MasterMap product – Open modular UML specification – SVG web map server – GIS independent

Tomorrow Today National service being deployed

The Future National EMPReSS Specification Custodian Traffic Management Act support:- – Co-ordination – Media access – Diversionary routes – Abnormal loads – Buried services Other services – Single Property Account

The challenge Completeness – works and events Locational accuracy – NSG, OSGRs Today, tomorrow, sometime …… Let’s do it in 2005
