This reinforced the country\u2019s position as a leader in road quality and innovation on the continent.<\/p>\n<p>The RA\u2019s executive for engineering, Mex Muatjetjeja, speaking on behalf of the organisation\u2019s Chief Executive Officer, Conrad Lutombi, stated that the RMS Hub represents more than just a technological upgrade; it is a continuation of a journey that has shaped Namibia\u2019s transportation industry for decades.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition to the showcase\u2019s opening today, we also commemorate the continuance of a journey that characterises Namibia\u2019s road industry.<\/p>\n<p>This hub is a promise that Namibia will continue to lead in road asset management, innovation, and connectivity,\u201d said Muatjetjeja.<\/p>\n<p>Namibia\u2019s vast road network, currently valued at roughly N$220 billion, is managed and integrated through the RMS Hub. It supports evidence-based decision-making by integrating geospatial information, engineering analytics, and contemporary ICT tools.<\/p>\n<p>With the new system, Muatjetjeja said RA can prioritise interventions, distribute funds effectively, and ensure the long-term sustainability of the road network due to the system\u2019s comprehensive data on road conditions, maintenance requirements, and project performance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome say roads are the veins of a nation. If that is true, then today we are showcasing the heart that keeps them alive and healthy,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasised that Namibia has proudly maintained its status among the top African nations in the World Economic Forum\u2019s road quality index since 2015. RA board chairperson Martins Kambulu characterised the launch as an expression of the organisation\u2019s commitment to sustainable infrastructure development and science-driven road management.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe RMS is an integrated framework of people, processes, and technology that transforms information into actionable decisions; it is not just software or data,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasised that, at a time when public funds are limited, the system enables life-cycle cost review, project prioritisation, and effective resource utilisation. He issued a warning, saying, \u201cWe will spend up to four times more in the future to repair it for every dollar not spent on essential road maintenance today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The RMS also supports coordination with key stakeholders such as the RFA and government ministries, ensuring transparency and accountability in infrastructure investments. Interactive exhibits illustrating the development of Namibia\u2019s road management system from early paper-based systems to sophisticated digital dashboards will be housed at the RMS Hub. Drone-assisted inspections, intelligent traffic systems, and the Project Control System (PCS), which improves capital project delivery and monitoring, are all available to visitors.<\/p>\n<p>Risk management modules, connection with the Integrated Road Asset Management System (iRAMS), and upcoming AI applications targeted at enhancing predictive maintenance and decision-making are examples of ongoing improvements, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Kambulu said to increase accessibility for the public, researchers and policymakers, the RA intends to make the RMS web-based in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the system will be modified to address new issues, such as electric vehicles, climate change, and the need for sustainable transportation.Both speakers commended the RMS team and consultants for their persistent efforts in realising the mission.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBehind every dashboard are skilled professionals whose expertise and dedication keep the system running,\u201d Kambulu stated, noting that Namibia is now among the world leaders in road asset management, thanks to the team\u2019s inventiveness and tenacity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Namibia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
