George
George is the application that allows road authorities to manage road characteristics and geographical data themselves.
The name George stands for: GEOgrafische Registratie van GEgevens (Geographical registration of data).
George allows you to keep the National Road Database (NWB) up to date by digitally recording changes in, for example, speed limits, driving directions or road widths.
What can you do with George?
- Make changes to the National Road Database (NWB) yourself
- Adjust geographical data, such as the location and shape of roads
- Update characteristics such as driving directions, speeds and entrances
- Share real-time changes with organisations that use the NWB, such as the police, navigation services and emergency services
George was developed to give road authorities more control over their own data. In this way, we are working together to make the traffic system smarter, more reliable and more efficient.
