Roads Working Group
Purpose
The Roads working group was established in May 2005 in recognition of the need to establish and maintain a nationally consistent approach to capturing roads information. A national data model is to be developed to set a base level requirement for the capture of features and attributes. Under this model individual agencies would continue to capture data to meet their information using existing frameworks, but they would also have the capacity to supply national data in a consistent manner.
There are synergies which can be utilised from the Harmonised Data Manual (HDM).
National Road Classification Systems
 The Roads Working has produced a major report to ICSM on Assessing the Feasability of a National Road Classification System. Any feedback on this report should be sent to the ICSM Executive Officer.
Terms of Reference
The Roads Working Group is to:
- Develop and promote a nationally consistent classification and attribution scheme for the representation of roads and associated infrastructure;
- Develop and promote a nationally consistent approach to the naming of roads and roads related features in spatial databases;
- Work closely with the ICSM Data Framework Technical Subcommittee to ensure that there is alignment between the work of the ICSM Harmonised Data Manual (HDM) on standards developed spatial data management of roads; and
- Liaise with key government bodies and industry stakeholder groups on a nationally consistent classification and attribution scheme for the representation of roads and associated infrastructure.
