PURPOSE AND SCOPE:
To design, develop and implement a Geographical Information System for Transportation (GIS-T). The system will produce quality GIS products and support the delivery of state-of-the art GIS services. The GIS-T will also provide enterprise-wide intranet access to thematic map displays, aerial photography, reports, analysis tools and attribute data for multiple business layers. Business data will include road inventory, needs study, programs and projects, crashes and traffic engineering related data, bridges, pavement management information, highway performance monitoring system (HPMS) and at-grade rail crossing information. The system will support map creation by multiple display areas to include counties, state senate districts, state house districts, US congress districts, ODOT commissioner districts and the entire state of Oklahoma. The GIS-T will provide decision support for ODOT and FHWA transportation planners, engineers and administrators.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS DURING FY 2004:
The first year of the Maintenance/Improvements phase of the Geographical Resource Intranet Portal (GRIP) project was completed. ODOT provided two key personnel (project manager and GIS administrator) along with critical GIS products and services supporting the GRIP project. Some key accomplishments include the following:

  • Completed the Annual Average Daily Traffic Map for Traffic Studies
  • Completed numerous custom map products , including:
    • Four Lane with no shoulders (Crash Rated and AADT Volume Group Emphasis)
    • Load Posted Bridge Maps (Load Posted and Load Posted less than 15 Tons)
    • Completed Sufficiency Maps for Needs Study Team
    • Many corridor related Map Products
      • Mingo Valley Expressway
      • Martin Luther King Expressway
      • Skelly Drive
      • Cherokee Expressway
      • Broken Arrow Expressway
      • BeeLine Expressway
    • 2030 Traffic Improvement Corridors Map

A major enhancement was implemented for the Inventory Data Entry Application (I.D.E.A.) known as the Cascade function. This function automatically cascades a specific length downstream or upstream on roads functionally classified above local. The function incorporates six different business rules, which were defined during the planning stage of development. This function was specifically developed to support the changes in urban and urbanized areas that were based on the 2000 census. The OKMILE software was put on the web for public consumption.

PROPOSED ACTIVITIES FOR FY2005:
The 2nd year of the Maintenance/Improvements contract for the Geographical Resource Intranet Portal (GRIP) project will be implemented. A major focus will be the training of Branch staff in the programming languages and concepts required to maintain the products resulting from the GRIP project. (i.e. HPMS Console, Inventory Data Entry Application or IDEA, GRIP browser application, GRIP Administration Console, etc) . A primary goal is to develop a curriculum to be used for In-House training on GeoMedia Professional, Oracle Spatial, LRSx and GeoMedia Transportation Manager. Implement an On-Line Help Authoring tool known as “RoboHelp”. This web-based help tool will be used to document each Section’s workflows, standard operating procedures and deadlines. Implement an Automated Map Product System (AMPS) by partnering with the Intergraph Corporation. The AMPS project will automate the creation and delivery of Bridge Vertical Clearance, Posted Load and Design Load map products that are used by the Department of Public Safety when issuing permits for Oversize/Overweight loads.
