Intergraph® Transportation Solutions keep you on the right road

Intergraph®’s Transportation Solutions enable transportation agencies to more clearly, efficiently, and cost-effectively manage and protect their roadway infrastructure. Working with more than 30 transportation departments across the U.S., Intergraph solutions help streamline operations, maintain compliance with federal regulations, and improve safety and driving conditions for motorists by quickly addressing potential issues through faster, more informed decision making. Our open solutions integrate with commercial map providers, such as Microsoft® Bing and Google, as well as commercial data sets, including NAVTEQ and TeleAtlas. Below are some examples of how Intergraph solutions keep transportation agencies on the right road.

Determining Safe Routes

Transportation agencies must determine safe routes for oversized and overweight (OS/OW) vehicles traveling through their jurisdiction. For example, if an oversized vehicle carrying components of a windmill is too large for a particular bridge in your area, your agency must re-route it. It may take a Department of Transportation permitting agent many hours to research the potential roadway hazards for an OS/OW vehicle, which can result in significant delays for permit issuance. Intergraph's Automated Routing for OS/OW Vehicles solution integrates information pertaining to bridges, construction projects, turn movements, or other roadway infrastructure data with the network to safely and accurately route vehicles through the system. Its restriction management capabilities also enable you to account for temporary events, such as an accident or lane closure that cause delays in travel.

Our automated approach focuses on potential problems and hazards that would prevent safe passage of the vehicle. You can capture vehicle and load information during the permit request, compare it to network route restrictions, and determine if a safe route is possible for the vehicle. Our solution can also provide support to structural engineers and permit agents for making special notes about the route if needed. Once a safe route is determined, the solution provides detailed driving directions and map output for the permit to ensure the carrier fully understands the route.

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) needed to improve its routing process due to a growing number of oversized/overweight commercial trucks traveling through the state. ODOT selected the Intergraph Automated Routing for OS/OW Vehicles solution and started implementing the system in 2010. "Intergraph was selected for the project for several different reasons," said Jay Adams, chairman of the selection committee for OS/OW routing and permitting at ODOT. "All of the other companies we interviewed were looking at the same old solution. We were looking for something that hadn't been done yet, something that was unique."

Intergraph's Automated Routing for OS/OW Vehicles offers:

• Fast end-to-end route generation

• Improved safety by ensuring trucks travel approved routes

• Real-time restriction management

Managing Ever-changing Data with MLRS

The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) faced the challenge of integrating constantly changing data road network data from many sources. NDOT wanted to build and maintain a new linear referencing system (LRS) to seamlessly manage and analyze it crash information on state and county network data. The crashes were associated with four different location reference methods. The MLRS eliminates the need for multiple data models and manual data conflation, and manages data translation between linear referencing methods on the fly. NDOT uses Intergraph's MLRS maintenance tools to manage its underlying network. In addition, NDOT can use MLRS to address reporting requirements pertaining to crash statistics in a more efficient and timely manner. The new system manages migrated linear data for every street, county, road, and highway in Nevada.

In addition, NDOT could use the MLRS solution to manage and analyze any relevant event data across the enterprise. For example, pavement and traffic data can be used with the MLRS to help a transportation agency prioritize projects in the formulation of budgets. (Watch Webcast.)

Intergraph's MLRS offers:

• Stable linear datum

• Event location stability

• Temporal LRS analysis

• Support of multiple LRMs

• Support of multiple cartographic representations

Integrate 3D Visualization with Intergraph's GeoMedia^® 3D

To keep traffic flowing safely along our nation's highways, transportation agencies require a comprehensive view of roadway network data. Agencies need to track, analyze, and review accurate infrastructure data, regardless of its source. A clear picture of your network supports better decisions, saves time and money, and most importantly, promotes safety, all the while protecting roadway infrastructure investments.

As geospatial technology plays an increasing role in managing our nation's highway infrastructure, Intergraph designed its geospatial transportation solutions to address the issues of data integration and many other business problems facing the transportation industry. Our approach of focusing on data integration while delivering modular applications for viewing, managing, and reporting roadway infrastructure data provides a cost-effective technology solution for the transportation industry. We deliver powerful and flexible applications that respond to specific business problems, such as multilevel linear referencing for enterprise data analysis, automated routing for oversized and overweight vehicles, and straight line diagrams that enable you to create and view roadway information that meets your needs.

Now, Intergraph solutions enable transportation agencies to gain a real-world view of their network in 3D. With Intergraph's GeoMedia^® 3D, you can better visualize and evaluate conditions, which supports improved decision making.

Our 3D-enabled transportation solution can help you more effectively assess the visual impact of new projects, present data trends more intuitively, and provide an effective communication method for informing authorities and the public. They also equip you to make more confident, informed decisions about your transportation assets. With a 3D perspective of your network, you can:

• Improve road planning and design via dynamic fly-throughs of a route

• Provide the public with realistic perspective of project impacts

• Visualize data trends such as high traffic locations, pavement distress and crash patterns

Viewing and Analyzing Roadway Information

To gain a complete picture of their network, transportation departments must collect and manage vast amounts of data about the characteristics and conditions of roads, bridges, and other infrastructure components. With an abundance of data, your department needs the ability to view it in a useful way. Intergraph's Straight Line Diagram (SLD) Web service creates SLDs on demand using your department's most up-to-date information. You simply select a road, choose what data you want to review, and the Web service does the rest. Intergraph's SLD Web service is much less labor-intensive compared to most existing methods, saving you significant time.

The Intergraph application allows you to control the portion of the road you want to analyze, and view data in a way that you can easily interpret and analyze. In addition, the ability to interact with Intergraph's SLD makes it much more than just static information.

Intergraph's SLD offers:

• Easy methods to identify sections of roads to analyze

• Tooltips for additional information

• Access to multiple road characteristics

Intergraph has many years of experience in the transportation industry. We understand the issues and challenges you face on a daily basis to keep your highways safe and protect your infrastructure.
