Austroads: Transport Research and Trends

Listen to the latest episode of Roads Australia's podcast with Dr Sarah Jones, who is Project Director for the implementation of Austroads' Road Asset Data Standard (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 custom experience benefits.

 
This episode covers why data standards matter and explores some of the work Austroads has been doing to prepare and implement a data standard for the national road network.
