Work carried out has included: unifying activities in different areas such as road transportation, surveying, and the car and electronic industries; performing a benchmark test on a European digital road map (EDRM); exploring of data production including data exchange between public authorities and industries; carrying out the first full scale test of the draft standard Geographic Data File (GDF); developing techniques for efficient data acquisition and RDB maintenance; developing a European based data model enabling data exchange between the most important data structures in Europe including road maintenance databases. The research led to the following conclusions: data acquisition techniques have been adequately explored in terms of the logistics of data production; strategic partners from the public authorities and the private data production sector are essential for the maintenance of the database; legal and political constraints on access to public data sources remains a limitation; the standardization of kernel datastructures for exchange of data between national standards in different languages have to be developed.
