Description

This Alberta Official Statistic describes the physical condition of Alberta’s highways. The International Roughness Index (IRI) is used to measure the roughness of roads and is used as a sole measurement to categorize overall physical condition. The average IRI value is calculated over every 50 metre segment of the Alberta highway network. This detailed data is further averaged over one kilometre sections to provide an assessment of condition. This information is used to assess and sustain the quality of the paved highway network, in support of efficient movement of commuter, business, commercial, and pleasure traffic. The preservation of pavement quality through regular rehabilitation reduces the total life cycle cost of the highway system, improving return on investment for Albertans.

Description

The NRN product is distributed in the form of thirteen provincial or territorial datasets and consists of two linear entities (Road Segment and Ferry Connection Segment) and three punctual entities (Junction, Blocked Passage, Toll Point) with which is associated a series of descriptive attributes such as, among others: First House Number, Last House Number, Street Name Body, Place Name, Functional Road Class, Pavement Status, Number Of Lanes, Structure Type, Route Number, Route Name, Exit Number. The development of the NRN was realized by means of individual meetings and national workshops with interested data providers from the federal, provincial, territorial and municipal governments. In 2005, the NRN edition 2.0 was alternately adopted by members from the Inter-Agency Committee on Geomatics (IACG) and the Canadian Council on Geomatics (CCOG). The NRN content largely conforms to the ISO 14825 from ISO/TC 204.
