Asset Management Data Standard
For better land transport investment decision-making
Overview
What is the Asset Management Data Standard and why do we need it
What is the AMDSA national standard for land transport assetsthe sector can shareA common language and data structure creating a consistent way of defining and describing land transport assets
• the standard is comprised of:
• the standard itself - design principles and concepts
• the technical specifications handbook
• technical specifications that describe assets and contextual information or ‘entities’ including:
• location• controls - including legislation and contracts• measures • business activities like construction and maintenance
• supporting tools to view and comment on the technical specifications
• exportable files of the asset schema and content
TOTAL LAND TRANSPORT ASSETS
• 68 road controlling authorities responsible for the management of roads in NZ
• 95,608 kms of road
• 19,962 bridges
• NZ$657,148,346 million

Why do we need the AMDSBetter land transport investment decision-making
• better evidence to inform land transport asset investment decisions
• opportunities for sector-wide best practice sharing and collaboration
• supports effective and efficient allocation of funding
• Assist investment partners to make the case for regional investment
• savings and benefits of approx. $70m annually
• access to and confidence in asset related data
ONTOLOGICAL vs HIERARCHICALAllows for multiple groups of entities to be related to multiple groups of entities without duplication
Functional relationships allow entities to be related to many functions e.g. a barrier to crash / protection / delineation / mode separation
Makes it easy to map across different relational models e.g. transport asset and water
Why nowCollaboration and digital engineering mandated
• 2018/19 Govt Policy Statement• deliver the right infrastructure at the best cost to achieve value for money
• Treasury’s National Infrastructure Plan• develop a national, shared, open data standard for infrastructure
• Synergistic collaboration• Road Efficiency Group
• New technology• Ontological model sets the groundwork for digital engineering across the
asset life-cycle and in harmony with other sectors.
This programme will only be
successful if it is designed,
developed and delivered as a
collaborative effort between Waka
Kotahi, the Road Efficiency Group,
and the local government and
transport sectors.
Who are we talking toEveryone!
• Experts in asset management and asset data management across the transport sector
• Road controlling authorities• Road maintenance contractors• Transport infrastructure developers and consultants• Utility providers• Asset management software providers• 3Waters standard development team• Government agencies• Government Chief Data Steward• Interest groups (national and international)
• REG - LGNZ – NZUAG – Engineering NZ - IPWEA – AustRoads - …
