<h2>AMDS multi-modal network model</h2><div thumbnail="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8KeMhucHTAo/hqdefault.jpg" class="leftAlone ss-htmleditorfield-file embed" style="width: 200px;"><iframe width="200" height="113" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8KeMhucHTAo?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen="" title="AMDS Multi-modal Network Model"></iframe></div><p>The network model represents a significant step in supporting digital engineering across the transport sector and will open 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 will be better placed to achieve the vision of moving Aotearoa forward – together, seamlessly, safely, and sustainably.</p><h2>AMDS network model implementation</h2><div thumbnail="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5H-16U7ezxM/hqdefault.jpg" class="leftAlone ss-htmleditorfield-file embed" style="width: 200px;"><iframe width="200" height="113" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5H-16U7ezxM?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen="" title="AMDS network model implementation"></iframe></div><p>RCAs already collect the data that will be used to populate the model, therefore, there won’t be a large investment from RCAs in data gathering to get their implementation underway. Our project team will do the ‘heavy lifting’ to define the scope and purpose of what data is needed as part of implementation, however, RCAs will need to support the project by making key decisions about their data during their implementation to ensure the model is useful.</p><p> </p>

<h3>How long have you been working on the AMDS programme and what is your role?</h3><p>I am an Asset Management data consultant with a background in civil engineering, asset management, wastewater separation and design, and structural permitting. Having worked with asset management data for several years, I have been on the AMDS programme for 4 years, working closely with the other standard SMEs, applying my asset management knowledge, and developing an understanding of good practice in data modelling.</p><h3>How did you start the process of deciding what goes into the standard? What was the approach?</h3><p>We started by using the Austroads Road Data Harmonisation programme as a reference, which provided the initial direction for AMDS. An ontological model of transport asset management in NZ was developed by our experts. Through this lens, we considered our legacy asset data and transformed it to allow a more consistent approach.</p><h3>How are you ensuring the standard is fit for purpose?</h3><p>We have to understand what the drivers are in terms of data collection, as this is often linked to reporting and funding prerequisites.</p><p>How we have been doing this, and to accelerate standard development, we are working with Waka Kotahi and sector SMEs from Fulton Hogan, WSP, Downer, HEB, and Higgins. To understand and incorporate RCA requirements, we established the RCA Data Standard Working Group with members from small to large councils. This group meets regularly to discuss new standard developments and provides validation before formal releases of asset classes to the sector.</p><h3>What is next for standard development?</h3><p>The standard is iterative and continues to be developed, with future phases being released.</p><p>Our focus includes the asset management lifecycle which will enable us to monitor trends in impacts, service performance, or asset condition improving the understanding of when and why maintenance renewal and improvement activities are needed, what different roadworks can achieve and cost, and how they should be designed and scoped to address all service defects and outcomes together for least disruption. This includes Forward Work Planning, where we recently engaged with AMDS SMEs for feedback on the approach and proposed framework.</p><p>AMDS will also support current and future multimodal networks, reflecting planning and design activities for asset management. For new phases, these will be released as a candidate release and circulated for feedback. We will continue with the four-week review cycle before incorporating feedback into the next release version.</p><h3>What will the future of the standard look like?</h3><p>As sector requirements change, this will be reflected in the standard. Examples include environmental and cultural concerns, carbon emissions, and modes of travel. We will look to incorporate this into our existing ontology and structure our data to reflect reporting requirements in the future.</p><p>Once we start collecting data and can produce good analytics, we may find some fields are not being used, or there is information not being collected that should be, so we will adapt our approach along the way.</p><p><img src="http://nzta2.cwp.govt.nz/assets/Roads-and-Rail/amds/data-standard/data-standard-spreadsheet.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="306" class="leftAlone ss-htmleditorfield-file image" title="data standard spreadsheet" loading="lazy"></p>
