Details

In partnership with the sector, we have created a living centreline that provides a single source of truth and enables better planning and management of New Zealand’s transport networks. At its simplest, the Network Model is a direct replacement of a Road Controlling Authority’s (RCAs) current road centreline, updated with a basic understanding of where vehicles can travel, as well as pedestrians, cyclists, other micro-mobility (for example scooters and wheelchairs), and public transport users. The Network Model is the backbone to the Asset Management Data Standard (AMDS) and critical to the management, analysis and reporting of land transport assets. This model underpins the standard and is foundational to pulling the performance and associated asset data together. The network model represents a significant step in supporting digital engineering across the transport sector and opens the door to exciting insights and understanding of performance. With a shared network model to support our evidence-based decision making and digital tools, we are better placed to achieve the vision of moving New Zealand forward – together, seamlessly, safely, and sustainably.
