As constructed data is provided to Council as drawing, but using blackbox22 turns to XML script

Software FME transforms the XML script to create excel tables and MapInfo tab files

8. Excel Output from FME for Conquest Input

Excel Output from FME for Conquest Input
VBA script
Complicated asset register meant some manual input was still required – macros were developed to assist:
The macros auto-fill from manual input. Lookup tables with condition codes, type codes, etc. complete the remainder of the missing fields. For kerbing and footpaths some fields can’t be completed through this and must be completed cell by cell.

9. LGA R&D Funded Pilot GIS Output from FME
Assets were output as individual MapInfo tab files.
Surface and Pavement assets had to be drawn manually due to survey data incompatibility at the roundabout.

11. Savings = Approx. 6 hours 30 minutes for 33 allotments
Experiences to Date
XML script – some modifications (errors/omissions)
FME – changes to match output requirements & resolve errors
Excel VBA – macros developed to auto-fill from manual input
Missing Assets & Fields – surfaces, pavement, kerbing & footpaths
Runtimes:
Savings = Approx. 6 hours 30 minutes for 33 allotments
ADAC
FME = 16.4 seconds
Excel input + VBA = 15 minutes
Manual input of missing assets = 3 hours
Upload to Conquest = 10 minutes
Manual
Conquest + MapInfo Input = 10 hours
Surfaces and pavements are complicated in our asset register (may be more suited in other set-ups), as well as traffic islands causing havoc for road centreline for the GIS – so at this stage still manual entry. Kerbing & Footpaths also have road segment data individual to each asset.
More savings anticipated for larger developments.

12. Challenges for Implementation
Showing benefits to developers (faster Council processing = $)
Upskilling required in all phases:
Superintendent & Surveyor to produce good XML
Council staff in managing FME and excel script
Asset Register currently not well aligned to ADAC
Less visual verification / potentially more difficult to spot errors
Challenges that face ADAC will lessen with familiarity and as changes occur in practices (eg. asset register ‘clean-ups’)
As we go on using and learning more, and with changes to systems for better integration, the synthesised ADAC process will be more and more efficient
