What exactly is Diego?

Diego is a web application that allows you to manage traffic control scenarios digitally. You can design, approve and use them in practice.

Is Diego a network management system?

No, Diego is a documentation system. It records how measures are set up in existing systems, such as MobiMaestro or Dynac.

Why is it called Diego?

Traffic experts were invited to choose their favourite name for this web application via a competition. Diego was created through some creative use of letters: DIgitaliseren rEGelscenariO’s (Digitising traffic scenarios). Diego was the favourite among most voters. What's more, Diego fits in well with the list of other NDW applications, such as Dexter and Melvin.

What are control scenarios?

Control scenarios describe which traffic measures you take in the event of an incident, event or roadworks.

Digital scenarios are always up to date, can be shared without errors, and are easier to use than paper booklets or PDFs.

For years, control scenarios were managed in booklets, PDFs or separate documents. But what if the version was no longer correct? Or if you wanted to share it with another road authority?  

To prevent errors and make work more transparent, there is now Diego: NDW's smart all-in-one tool. In Diego, you can create digital rule scenarios, approve them and manage them centrally. This means you always work with the right information, in one place.

Diego is available via the mijnNDW portal.
