This CDROM provides an introduction to road network operations and its component activities. In this context, “network operations” means operation in the widest sense, including the integration of these activities:
- across geographical boundaries between road operators and road administrations
- allowing travellers and freight forwarders the optimised use of all modes of transport
- facilitating inter-modal transfer and smooth access to ferry-terminals, ports, airports, road-rail transfer points, etc.
The institutional issues of network operation are significant because of the number of stakeholders involved. The provision of accurate and timely information to all the interested parties has a central role.
Network Parameters
The PIARC committee on Management of Network Operations recommends that the following test is applied when trying to determine the reach of wide-area “Integrated” network operations:
A transport network that has its geographical limits defined according to the road users’ needs…
- that may be multi-modal, multi-jurisdictional, multi-national (local, regional, national authorities and concession-holders)…
- using possibly different levels of infrastructure (rural, local or national roads hierarchy)…
- that involves interaction and inter-agency cooperation on traffic management and traffic information
