Data Standard: Knowledge Sharing Platform Proof of Concept

⁠⁠⁠Austroads has identified that improving the consistency of road asset information has the potential to facilitate benefits for all road agencies, local councils, road manager partners and service providers through the resultant improvements in practices that can be expected to ensue.

Harmonised data standards will facilitate communication between road managers and improve the comparability of road asset information across different road networks. This has the potential to facilitate information sharing and associated improved asset management practices, and so lead to improved outcomes. The benefits from harmonising road asset data standards include:
* an improved understanding of road asset performance - particularly for local councils - leading to better prioritisation of maintenance activities and investment decision making;
* direct savings to road agencies and others from reduced information management costs;
* consistent and comparable asset data to inform national reforms, particularly for heavy vehicle road reform; and
* consistent asset data to accommodate new technology in the road sector and transport innovations.
