Data quality

Lineage:

Developed in-house for transport modelling

Positional accuracy:

Related to ACT grid. Derived from 1:2500 cadatral maps, with the bottom left corner of map sheet having X, Y coordinates of 1000, 1000

Attribute accuracy:

Link lengths scaled from 1:200 cadastral base maps. Link speeds based on judgements using information on zoned speed and observed speed (in many, but not all, cases). Link capacities based on judgement using AUSTROADS data modified by observed lane volumes on many links

Logical Consistency:

Not Known

Completeness:

Includes all arterial and distributor road links in the Canberra road network, including the base network of additional links assumed for future year forecasting
