The vision of Transport for NSW (TfNSW) is documented in publicly available strategies and plans. To achieve this vision, the Asset Standards Authority (ASA), within TfNSW, has led the development of a Transport Network Architecture (TNA) model, a model that integrates the multiple strategic documents into a structured, visual, relational format that can be used consistently across the cluster. This model captures information from the strategies to form the enterprise perspective and traces this information to a concept operational perspective. The TNA is therefore a conceptual model that represents the structure and behaviour of the transport system. The aim of the TNA is to provide a basis for consistent asset planning and procurement for complex transport project. The different perspectives and views in the TNA allow a particular user to define and bridge the link between the business needs and requirements (i.e. problem domain) and the system needs (i.e. solution domain). Through effective stakeholder management, the framework has therefore captured the interest of transport planners and project delivery teams to assist them in various engineering related activities in delivering highly complex transport projects.
