Road agencies are increasingly utilising various business intelligence tools to collect, process and analyse large amounts of asset management data from internal and external systems. Harnessed information is used to maintain road assets and improve the efficiency of their performance.
In this webinar data practitioners from the Tasmanian Department of State Growth, Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads and Main Roads Western Australia will talk about their experience in using digital data analytics tools for improving the accessibility and visualisation of data in road asset management.
David Deacon will share how the Tasmanian Department of State Growth’ Roads Asset Management Branch works with data to enable effective decision-making, break down silos and connect people.
Norah Weatherby’s presentation will focus on the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads’ asset information systems and analytics platforms that are critical to supporting Queensland’s road network.
Shaan Ciantar, from Main Roads Western Australia, will talk about Power BI’s Pavelytics, an interactive app that displays relevant data to asset and maintenance managers on selected road sections. Shaan’s presentation will go through the need for such an app, how it was scoped for maximum usability, the data-design process, and finally a demonstration of the app in use.
Nicholas Archer will present a novel approach to mapping road data for Main Roads Western Australia using a custom Power BI visual and web service.
There will be question and answer opportunities during the session.
