Configurable rules can be defined to summarize and roll up data.
operational analytics that are integrated into ODOT’s transactional system and uses linearly referenced data. The software supports the sophisticated reporting and analysis that ODOT needs to proactively manage transportation assets. Using the streamlined process, ODOT can perform analysis on any linear-referenced dataset, including the standard or custom aggregate and analytical functions to generate data extracts. Results can be displayed either on a map or in a tabular format, depending on the need. TIG allows ODOT to dynamically segment the network and report against its road network in any way they wish to support crash statistics, federal reporting, and other measures. It also enabled ODOT to overcome the linear reporting and analysis challenges that traditional asset management, business intelligence capabilities, and GIS software fail to address. Expected outcomes The Bentley software allowed ODOT to customize the new system to achieve specific outcomes that were beyond the capabilities of its legacy systems. These included capturing more detailed asset data, improving interfaces with other systems, reducing risk during field inventories, supporting crash data analysis for improved public safety, and providing a solid foundation for ODOT’s future initiatives and work. TransInfo is extendible and will offer an up-to-date accounting of ODOT’s current and future linear assets. ODOT is also developing capabilities to capture more detailed geo-referenced data to formulate an inventory for budgeting. Field data collection and verification will be minimized through the consolidation of inventory data with
conflicted, all discrepancies had to be resolved manually and data validity was constantly in question. One legacy system, the Integrated Transportation Information System (ITIS), interfaced with several counterparts to provide a roadway inventory and classification service. Although it was aging, ITIS served a critical function by creating a data warehouse for information sharing. These integrated systems had to continue to function seamlessly while TransInfo was being built and tested. Overcoming limitations ODOT used AssetWise as the foundation for TransInfo, its new system that reconciles and connects disparate asset data, seamlessly maintains a spatial representation of all information, and integrates all network assets and asset information systems. It provides a unified view of ODOT’s entire road network and its associated features such as speed limits and number of lanes. All information and data are easily accessible to ODOT and all other consumers. The system also interfaces easily with other ODOT systems. With its integrated linear network management capabilities, AssetWise provides a single source of truth for ODOT to manage all roadway asset information including spatial network data, inventory and maintenance data, asset data, road geometry data, and road classification data. Soon after the initial implementation of AssetWise, ODOT also began using Bentley’s Transportation Intelligence Gateway (TIG). The TIG, which is part of AssetWise, provides powerful and flexible
