Module Streetmanagement + NKF/NKR
With the acadGraph module Streetmanagement + NKF/NKR („Neues Kommunales Finanzmanagement“) local authorities can economically collect, administer and balance their road areas. With that, among other things, the valuation of existing streets in line with the new communal financial management is possible.
Scope of services:
Street database for administration, collecting and presenting of the road network and road areas as well as other relevant objects, like manhole covers, EVU points, trees, traffic signs and more street furniture.
asset valuation based on costs of material and amortization
asset valuation based on road condition
use of freely editable identification lists for material types, border fastening,... including information about price and recovery period
use of freely editable identification lists for acquisition of street conditions with valuation(factor)
condition validation
calculation of NKF data (current value, ...)
calculation of effective year of amortization based on the the condition validation
display of streets in topic plans, e.g. according to function, material, winter services, ...
access to technical data from the map of the area (Autodesk Map) and contrariwise marking areas based on technical data processing
parallel use of area and/or line model possible
using line model for fast data detection especial in rural areas with deduction lengths for crossing areas
Economic streetmanagement
With the module Streetmanagement + NKF/NKR data are collected and administered on a central geodata server and can be published up-to-date via internet or intranet for all affected positions. The information existing in the street database can be depicted in prepared topical maps. Like this the geo information system is the foundation for internal administrational communication.
The roads are divided into sections with devotement information according to the law for streets of the country. For every road section areas, borders and channelings as well as point information of street furniture (EVU-points, trees, traffic signs, manhole covers, etc.) can be assigned. For every road section results of inspections and information about breakups can be deposited. This is integrated into the automatic calculation of the current value for the opening balance for the new communal financial management (NKF). The current value is calculated by street condition and year of construction, replacement cost, recovery period and the area that is automatically detected from the GIS. The single values are aggregated and assigned to the particular road sections. To support the controlling the current value as well as the current value in +5 years are displayed seperatedly. Additionally the year of the complete amortization of the road section is calculated and displayed in the data sheets. The complete calculation to evaluate the values for NKF can be based on two basic data models. The above mentioned area model is more detailed. Alternatively, e.g. farmers roads in the outskirt area, can be calculated with the line model. Therefore road sections are measured just like in the area model. To this sections standard cross-sections are defined in a 1:N relation. For each cross-section a covering with according replacement costs, year of construction (if known) and current condition is added to the usual identification lists. The NKF relevant values are calculated from the section length proportional to the the cross section width. This technique makes a faster acquisition of large areas possible when acquisition cost have to be minimized. To prevent intersections at branch points and therefore superimposed calculation, deduction values can be defined in the line model. The system can work with both calculation models at the same time to calculate the NKF-values. This means in city areas the detailed area modell can be used, and for the outskirt areas the line model can be used.
About NKF
New communal financial management („Neues Kommunales Finanzmanagement“): This sober term conceals the most considerable change in the last decades in communal finance and accounting. If a new road is built, the building costs are displayed in cameralistics in the expenditures during the building phase. After completion of the road “the case is settled”; observing depreciation and consequential costs was not demanded by accounting so far. With the present cameralistics system the impairment of public goods and therefore amortization of running costs is not registered. The new system takes care of more budget stability by medium term plans and reserves and provides important information for financial decisions.
