3 Keeping people and products moving safely and efficiently In a world of constant change, keeping people and products moving safely and efficiently is a complex, unrelenting task. Few industries impact the public as directly as the transportation industry, which includes roadways, railways, airports, transit, and seaports. The ever-increasing need for you to provide intelligent roadway systems and share information across the enterprise, within the industry, with the public, and the political community demands superior service. 1

4 Intergraph solutions for the transportation industry ensure dissemination of accurate and timely information. We deliver products, processes, and experienced transportation professionals to help you understand and implement the best solutions for every aspect of data collection, management, analysis, and presentation. From collecting information in the field to visualizing roadway assets and congestion on a screen, map, or via the Web, Intergraph s solutions help hundreds of state, provincial, and national governments solve their asset visualization, management, and capital planning problems. Roadway Infrastructure Management Transportation agencies must maintain thousands of miles of roadway, including all roadway assets, such as bridges, structures, and signage. Agencies collect massive amounts of information to effectively maintain these assets. Collecting, maintaining, analyzing, and reporting this roadway inventory is a steep challenge and a top priority. Intergraph provides you a better way to manage roadway assets with a combination of software and services, enabling you to standardizeworkflows and solve common problems. Traffic engineers can get the latest traffic counts at a specific interstate location. A pavement engineer can ascertain how much pavement along a highway is in need of repair. Or, a safety engineer can find out the number of crashes that occurred on a given night at a particular intersection or a stretch of highway. To make pavement, traffic, and safety information more readily available, these agencies require specialized solutions that not only track locational data on their physical assets, but also tie the appropriate technical and historical information to each asset and provide immediate access to the right data. This allows you to define priorities and allocate budgets appropriately. Transportation Planning and Analysis Whether it is an executive dashboard, an analyst s workbench, or providing information to the public, Intergraph s transportation solutions fulfill all your needs. Our Web-based tools give you no-frills access to critical information, such as: Is the transportation network functioning smoothly? Are budgets being met? Do problems exist that need attention? With Intergraph s transportation solutions, analysts have full access to the industry s richest transportation analysis toolset. Meanwhile, the public has easy access to traffic and road conditions. The reporting tool provides updates of weather, construction projects, and other traffic data for accurate and timely information. Intergraph offers a map-based Web interface to all of the major information systems used by a transportation agency. It makes use of a common linear reference that cross-analyzes transportation data to provide quick answers to questions such as, Where are all the areas where there is both congestion and poor pavement? It provides access to video logging, dynamic graphs, and straight-line diagrams to give you a complete operating picture of a transportation network. 2

5 General Directorate of Roads The General Directorate of Roads, a division of the Catalan Ministry of Public Works and Land Planning in Barcelona, uses Intergraph s transportation technology to build and maintain an enterprisewide, open-architecture transportation GIS for the region. Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) Using Intergraph s transportation solutions, TDOT maintains its inventory of more than 88,000 miles of roadways and 20,000 bridges. 3

7 Manitoba Transportation and Government Services The Manitoba Road Information Site ( has become an important source of information and a critical factor in public safety for the traveling public and the trucking industry in the province of Manitoba, Canada. Manitoba Transportation and Government Services uses GeoMedia Professional, GeoMedia WebMap Professional, and GeoMedia Transportation Manager to provide maps and text reports. Travelers can access information about road conditions for more than 18,000 kilometers of highways. Nevada Department of Transportation Nevada Department of Transportation selected Intergraph s transportation solutions to develop its Safety Management System (SMS), which geographically displays information about roadway areas with high incidents of vehicle accidents to better research underlying causes of accidents. The new SMS will assist in the compilation and analysis of statewide crash data, leading to the identification and evaluation of high crash locations. 5

8 South Carolina Department of Transportation South Carolina Department of Transportation teamed with Intergraph to build their Integrated Transportation Management System (ITMS), an enterprise information management system that provides real-time access to spatially enabled data from various information systems within the organization. Alberta Infrastructure and Transportation Alberta Infrastructure and Transportation has employed a Web-based solution that allows carriers to apply online for permits for oversized/ overweight vehicles. The solution employs Intergraph s restrictive routing capability to find the best route for these vehicles. With Intergraph s transportation data access, you do not have to know which department owns data; nor does it matter where it resides. It is not necessary for you to have read-only accounts in multiple systems to retrieve the data needed to perform their jobs. Once you have access, all critical transportation data is at your fingertips. Information is available in real-time; no data warehousing is needed for quickly changing data. Data can be used in the way best suited for your needs. You have the ability to print reports, view results on a map, and export data for further analysis. Non-GIS users have access to GIS tools to perform area, range, and distance queries. You can access and analyze data anywhere, anytime enabling you to use up-to-date information quickly to improve productivity. You can create and configure Web sites and services that implement Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC ) specifications, including OGC-compliant versions of Web Map Server (WMS) and Web Feature Service (WFS), without any programming expertise. Routing Analysis Intergraph s Routing Analysis automatically determines the optimal driving route from point A to point B and generates both a map and printed directions. It can create optimal routes for making multiple stops and determine the quickest route, taking into account one-way streets, speed limits, and more. Routing Analysis can locate the closest resource to a particular site. By extension, this capability allows you to analyze whether there is proper coverage for determining incident response. Our application can use the same data maintained in a linear referencing system (LRS) 6

9 to perform sophisticated routing analysis, such as calculating the safest route for oversized and overweight vehicles. Fully customizable, this application is both desktop- and Web-enabled. In the U.S., Intergraph offers routing analysis in the context of an Automated Oversized/Overweight Routing solution to provide route generation for large and heavy vehicles, taking into consideration road conditions and restrictions. Railway Infrastructure Management Intergraph s Railway Infrastructure Management Solution generates and displays information about the rail infrastructure (tracks, tunnels, stop points, and ticket machines), including Webbased applications that provide fundamental support to internal processes. These processes range from maintenance, documentation on available routes, and investment planning to facilities management, all while providing this information across department boundaries. Intergraph technology assists in infrastructure management, survey and control, Web distribution, noise pollution evaluation, and geological evaluation for rail clients. You can use GIS to manage different aspects of the maintenance processes and support the integration and sharing of company information. Network Maintenance Our Network Maintenance application provides tools to build and maintain a digital network model for transportation systems, including roads, signage, signals, pavement, markings, transit, and traffic control. This includes developing networks for LRS and/or routing. For routing, we also support ready-to-use network data from such suppliers as NavTEQ and Tele Atlas. Furthermore, Intergraph gives you everything you need to build, maintain, and analyze a multilevel, temporal LRS. This provides support for multiple linear referencing methods and multiple geometric representations, and prevents the persistent problem of the location aspect of asset data slipping over time due to network changes. The editing tools have been upgraded to provide a complete data maintenance environment for multilevel LRS, and you can easily add a temporal dimension to both your data maintenance and data analysis. Finally, you can get cutting-edge linear referencing capabilities right out of the box. Image Management Transportation agencies have multiple departments, such as planning, design, environmental, and maintenance, which require access to image data. Usually, these departments use different CAD/GIS/Web applications, and it can DOTs around the country have implemented a variety of technologies to give citizens better information to make their commutes go more smoothly, and our Traffic Watch system is a great foundation that we can use to deploy a system equal to any others in the country.
