Towards Nordic markets within road sector

1. Towards Nordic markets within road sector How common Nordic data model can support the trend? Ilkka Suojanen 10.6.2005

2. Vision and main benefits Data model – past, present Data model – the big picture and future Data model – requirements for success Summary Questions and comments Agenda

3. Towards Nordic markets within road sectorVision We have Nordic markets within road sector which provide efficient services to public audience and allow vendors to operate cross borders without limitations based on technology or practices. Competence and methods within the market area are best in the world.

4. Benefits of common markets Efficiency Costs Schedules Fair competition Competence Networking Competitiveness Nordic level EU level Globally More possibilities For both public and private sector Improved services For public audience For orderer … Towards Nordic markets within road sector

5. How to get there We need a strong will to do this In addition we need a lot of cooperation and involvement from all parties Means to achieve Best practices with cooperation Sharing knowledge across the borders Learning Common Nordic data model Provides basis for sharing data Provides possibility to work on a Nordic level Public sector Consultants Constructors ICT companies Service providers Standards Provides the backbone for operations … Towards Nordic markets within road sector

6. There are vendors who operate at many of the Nordic countries Need for Nordic market area for road sector and civil engineering Need for actions to facilitate the process towards Nordic market area Need for a common Nordic data model emerged Common Nordic data model Cost benefits where estimated as follows: Collection, processing and preparing of data Cost cut about 20 percentage Planning and design Collection of data in planning and design phase up to 40 percentage Road maintenance Cost cut about 5 percentage Other benefits Facilitates fair competition Possibility to work at the Nordic level Shared development investments Lowers the technical barriers, but … it is not about technology only Also cooperation etc. is needed Towards Nordic markets within road sectorData model - past

7. Previously suggested for further actions Create a common Nordic Data Model Create a common Nordic Geodata Standard including common core technology Create basis for an software independent framework Showcase to the international audience that Nordic standards and methods are best of breed Show that our competence in this area is outstanding Towards Nordic markets within road sectorData model - past

8. The need for Nordic markets, data model and actions is still there Even more clear than few years ago NVDB, NGIS, SYMPRO and SNB projects are implemented or within final stages All use a common independent framework called QUADRI Many vendors worked in cooperation Private – Public partnership INFRARYL, Inframodel 1-2, Digiroad, IK cost estimation, INFRA technology program Implemented or within final stages “Predecessors” for INFRA 2010 Showcases of vendor cooperation Today there is an opening seminar of INFRA 2010 in Finland Budget ~10 M€ (2005-2008) Research and development program Main focus: Common Nordic data model Other focus areas: Competence and innovations Practices and acquisition process Life cycle management and ecological efficiency Towards Nordic markets within road sectorData model - present

9. INFRA 2010 research and development program Goal: increase efficiency within infrastructure sector Means: Common Nordic data model • Competence and innovations Common Nordic data model Practices and acquisition process Life cycle management and ecological efficiency Towards Nordic markets within road sectorData model - present

10. Challenge Data flow within the process is not working properly Data models are on a national level Consequences Inefficient and expensive process Local and closed markets Low level of cooperation Productivity is not increasing … Part of the solution: common Nordic data model Design Construction Maintenance Towards Nordic markets within road sectorData model – driving forces

11. Specification of information Standards Quality of information Data model Properties Structure of information Traceability Availability of information Towards Nordic markets within road sectorData model - What is data model all about?

12. Towards Nordic markets within road sectorData model -How data model is positioned within the process

13. Data model can support data flow within the process Towards Nordic markets within road sectorData model – data flow Infrastructure life cycle management Requirements Design Maintenance Construction Applications Applications Applications Data life cycle within data model Product data Production data Maintenance data

14. What are the immediate effects It comes possible to control the process all the way All parties can use the data within the process Quality Accuracy Reliability Same data comes more complete and detailed while we proceed It comes easier to estimate costs already at the early stages Comparison of different alternatives Digital process Enables simulations and analysis 4D and 5D Cost efficiency Towards Nordic markets within road sectorData model - effects

15. What are the immediate effects Ties together the different phases of a process Connects all parties to source data Transforms the process to towards 4D and 5D Time Money Requirements It is based on an open architecture Independent from vendors Open Based on standards Compatibility Constant maintenance and development Towards Nordic markets within road sectorData model - effects

16. What are the less visible effects Quality and productivity Data is more useful for cost estimation, scheduling and production management There are better possibilities to integrate design, production and maintenance Project management Improved life cycle management Life cycle cost and ecological impact can be taken into account better than before Operating and maintenance are able to use same data Overall efficiency Accuracy and quality Compatibility and cooperation Improved customer care Data for decision makers Visualization and alternatives (functionality, cost …) Creates a window of opportunity for Nordic markets Competence, competitiveness Changes the way we work Towards Nordic markets within road sectorData model - effects

19. This is a common project All parties are required in order to succeed Public sector Consultants Constructors ICT companies Service providers Each contender has their role in this project Requires common will to succeed Requires cooperation Public and private sector Requires time and resources How NVF can support? NVF as forum for discussion NVF 11 could provide it's competence to discussion Data model and related issues are easily misunderstood Data model is much more than just a technological solution Towards Nordic markets within road sectorData model – requirements for success

20. Trends towards Nordic markets are emerging and more visible Emerging cooperation between Nordic public sector Emerging cooperation between public and private sector Emerging cooperation between vendors Common will to enhance the process Or is there? Are there opposing forces? First concrete steps have been taken towards common Nordic data model Data model is one piece in a puzzle Benefits are there Efficiency Competence Networking Competitiveness Better services NVF can support these trends Sharing the knowledge Summary
