1 Location-driven business at the Utah Department of Transportation Jeff Saunders Farallon Geographics, Inc. Senior Geodatabase Developer Dan Paske Utah Department of Transportation Oracle DBA

2 Today s Goals Define UDOT s business goals Review Asset Management and GIS in the past Review the business drivers for spatiallyenabled Asset Management Present the status of Asset Management following the implementation of the centralized enterprise geodatabase Look at the road to the future

3 Utah Department of Transportation is responsible for: Over 6,000 miles of highways Snow removal, signage, bridges, repairs, building, and maintenance Traffic Operations including monitoring road conditions, accidents and safety

4 Organization s Strategic Business Goals: Goal 1: Take Care of What We Have Goal 2: Make the System Work Better Goal 3: Improve Safety Goal 4: Increase Capacity

5 Challenges facing UDOT: Effectively allocating increasingly limited resources to deal with: Increased congestion Increased user costs Decreased economic growth and productivity Faster deterioration of highways

6 Business Drivers Finance Budgeting Resource Allocation Operations They all require location-based information

7 Measuring Performance

8 Core Business Data Highway Routes Assets referenced to routes Signs Striping Pavement Culverts Bridges Others

9 The Technology Landscape was: Enterprise Business Data and Applications Mapping data

10 To generate location data:

11 End-user applications were: Dynamic Tabular Reports and Queries Static Image Maps

15 The Issues The storage of business data in robust, scalable RDBMS and core spatial data in files resulted in inefficiencies in: Resources Time Scalability Security Interoperability Data Availability

16 Technical Requirements and Business Drivers Role Technical Requirement Business Purpose Maintenance Managers and Field Operators Application Developers Need applications that provide advanced tools like maps, to improve operation and management of critical assets. Integrate business and spatial data in the most efficient, scalable, and open way possible to flexibly deal with end user needs. Provide compelling evidence of the value of assets at specific condition level and location to efficiently apply limited resources. Efficiently and effectively deal with constituents needs utilizing existing applications, skill sets, technology.

17 Spatially-Enabled Enterprise

18 Enterprise Architecture Goals Centralize spatial and business data management (provide a single source of the truth) Spatially-enable business data Integrate with unified LRS Support in-house Oracle application developers Support long-term systems integration (flexible)

19 Enterprise Architecture Realities Extensive in-house expertise focused on Oracle technology Limited number of GIS experts Primarily interested in location based business data and applications not GIS data

20 New Technology Landscape

21 Benefits of ArcSDE and Oracle Spatial ArcGIS 9 ArcIMS 9 Oracle Tools Increased performance to ESRI apps Support for GeoDatabase Object models Raster data types and GRIDS support Common API for all ESRI products Enhanced LRS support Data Server Oracle 9i Oracle Spatial Application Server Oracle App Server ArcIMS 9 ArcSDE 9 Database Admin Support Scalability Spatial Queries via SQL Integrated with Oracle Tools Support for non GIS applications

22 End-user applications are: Single, centralized, scalable robust data source. Dynamically generated map based on up-to-date asset Information. (taking advantage of LRS and Dynamic Segmentation Dynamic query capabilities Dynamically generated asset report based on current information

23 The Results 1. Improved Resource Allocation 2. Better understanding of assets throughout state 3. Faster access to spatially-referenced information

24 The Road to the Future Solving collateral objectives Further integration of mainstream business data with spatial data Application development using Oracle tools, ESRI tools, Google, SOA
