Connecting for the future, the Victorian Transport Digital Engineering (VTDE) transformation program will activate the power of digital engineering through people, process, and technology to support our vision – an industry-leading, hyperconnected ecosystem of digital engineering and asset information.
Katie Kandelaars, Asset Information Requirements Lead, VTDE, DTP, will introduce VTDE and the transformation that will enable digital engineering innovation across the entire Victorian Transport asset lifecycle. Katie will also take a closer look at the Asset Information Requirements (AIR) stream of the program and speak to how AIR will set consistent language and processes around asset data handover. This will ensure understanding and compliance by the people who design, build, operate, maintain, and own Victorian Transport assets.
