Lantmäteriet use TNE Editor to update the forest road network

During 2023 the Land Survey (Lantmäteriet) and Triona carried out a pilot project to evaluate the use of TNE Editor where Lantmäteriet themselves update the forest road network and associated plant. Lantmäteriet has now signed an agreement for the use of TNE Editor. 

Lantmäteriet takes aerial photos of around 30% of Sweden each year. These photos are analysed by a production unit at Lantmäteriet which then registers data based on the photos. Previously Lantmäteriet has sent the data to the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket) who in turn manually updated the national road database (NVDB). This meant a considerable amount of work at Trafikverket and Lantmäteriet experienced long lead times. 

Lantmäteriet now use TNE Editor to make updates to the NVDB with direct check-ins. Lead times from registration to the data being published in Lantmäteriet’s map service has therefore been reduced from weeks to a couple of days. Apart from the work being streamlined, Lantmäteriet’s actors find it beneficial to be responsible for and to carry out updates throughout the process. By making changes with direct check-in, Trafikverket save time updating geo data.
