Internet Solutions for a More Effective Public Roads Administration

During the last three years, The Public Road Administration in Norway has outsourced road building and maintenance, has been re-organized, and has developed some interesting modern IT-solutions for public services. The public services are available on our websites as well as news and information such as road plans, noise and air pollution along roads, general road information, weather information, emergency services, congestion etc. On the Internet customers can now apply for driver’s licenses, car owners can book vehicle inspections, car companies can send registration of vehicles, and transport companies can send applications for dispensations for heavy, high, wide or long vehicles. The public can use route planners based on our detailed electronic road net. This is a very popular ITS-solution. The public is also happy about our automatic payment system for toll roads. Available for both the public and for the employees, are a National Road data base “NRDB”, based on our ITS-solutions and a data catalogue with information about state and municipal roads, road traffic, all stops and terminals, land owners, landscape and more. The National Road databank brings maps onto our desk tops efficiently.
