| In
1997, WERD undertook a project called RADEF (Road Administration Data
Exchange Format) to enable the exchange of highway information among
both road administrations and commercial organisations by developing
common standards and tools and promoting their use.
A key part of this project was the creation of a common Data Dictionary,
providing agreed terms, definitions, categorisations and relationships
for highway data, such as traffic, accidents, and road network and
condition statistics. Common location referencing is a particularly
important component.
The European Road Data Dictionary can be downloaded
as a .pdf file. Please right click on the hyperlink and choose ‘save
target as’, then select from the menu a location to save
the file to. To download
