Road Management with RMS Road Database
The Office of Civil Engineering and Geoinformation has about 123 km of main roads to manage in its area of responsibility, about 103 km of which are paved.
The entire existing road infrastructure has a replacement value of CHF 500 to 600 million, depending on the type of calculation. The sustainable care of this infrastructure is an extremely important factor in terms of value preservation. This in the awareness that investments in our transport infrastructure are made in such a targeted manner that the best possible cost/benefit ratio can be achieved.
As a modern electronic tool for road construction and maintenance projects, the Office of Civil Engineering and Geoinformation has had the RMS road database available since 2006. In this database, various road attributes are linked to digital video data of all Liechtenstein roads and can be retrieved at the click of a mouse
Road database
Functions of the RMS Road Database
The application makes a number of functions or evaluations possible on the computer:
- Virtual driving through the individual streets (digital video film)
- Inquiry of the street kilometer at any positions
- Measurement of road width and length from the video
- Height measurement of objects
- Image montage of traffic signs and guidance devices
- Display of data in the Geographic Information System
At the moment, about 25 database topics on a wide variety of road infrastructures are available. The direct connection of the database to the digital video film makes it possible to record the data directly from the office workstation.
