Getting ready for RADS

Data offers a world of opportunity to underpin the delivery of transport services that are more aligned with customer experiences. When it comes to the management of transport infrastructure and assets, data is a powerful tool that lets us plan and deliver those activities more effectively. However, all of this relies on interoperability. If systems can’t ‘talk’ to each other, we will miss out on productivity, safety and customer experience benefits.

And that’s where data standards come in.

To talk about why they matter, how they can help and some of the work Austroads has been doing to prepare and now implement a data standard for the national road network, RA is joined by Dr Sarah Jones, who is Project Director for the implementation of Austroads’ Road Asset Data Standard (RADS).
