History

This web portal was built in 2015 to report on the One Network Road Classification (ONRC) Performance Measures. The web portal was initially called the ONRC Performance Measures Reporting Tool (PMRT); later the name changed to REG Insights.

The web portal has been renamed Transport Insights as it provides extensive features and analysis to the transport sector for a range of initiatives including:

• One Network Framework performance measure reporting
• One Network Road Classification performance measure reporting
• Road Controlling Authority (RCA) performance reporting
• Asset Condition reporting
• The data quality framework
• Procurement smart buyer self-assessment form [PDF, 213 KB]
• Asset management competency framework
• Procurement competency framework
• Activity Management Plan reviews and exemplars
• Traffic count estimation.

Upcoming features

Transport Insights will continue to expand to support new initiatives including:

• Asset Management Data Standard
• Te Ringa Maimoa Excellence Programme
• Differential Levels of Service
• Expanded regional and national reporting.

Import checklist

• Road Controlling Authorities (RCAs) run an import process in Transport Insights at the end of each financial year to transfer information into the web portal. Transport Insights generates analysis and reports based on this data from the RCAs as well as from other sources.
• A checklist is provided to help RCAs ensure they have updated all their data correctly before they run the final import for the year.

Data validation

• Transport Insights performs data validation and data quality checks on the information accessed for each RCA.
• Data validation identifies missing or incorrect data that will have a detrimental effect on reporting, such as sections of road that have not been classified.
• RCAs can run early imports to identify data that needs to be corrected for the year.
