Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) GIS Innovations in Transportation Asset Management Presented By Steve Hossack, GIS Database Administrator 2018 ITE/IMSA Spring Conference Maricopa County Office of Enterprise Technology Vision: To be recognized as a first-class technology organization
Introduction Topics to be Discussed MCDOT s Legacy System Transportation Asset Inventory, System Architecture, Linear Referencing Need For Transformation Justification Transformation Strategy Business Needs Analysis, Data Governance, Workflows Technology Solution The ArcGIS Stack: Esri Roads and Highways, ArcGIS Server, Portal, Collector 4/3/2018 www.maricopa.gov/technology 2
About Maricopa County Covers Phoenix Metropolitan Area Population of over 4 Million Area of over 9,200 square miles 4/3/2018 www.maricopa.gov/technology 3
About Maricopa County DOT MCDOT maintains over 2,400 miles of roads Only roads in unincorporated county Some roads are courtesy-maintained MCDOT has over 400 employees and annual budget of $140M 4/3/2018 www.maricopa.gov/technology 4
Transportation Asset Inventory Breakdown of Roads by Functional Classification Quantity Description 1,251 miles Local Streets 646 miles Collector Streets 517 miles Arterials 67 miles Park Roads Breakdown of Roads by Surface Type Quantity Description 1421 miles Asphalt Concrete 416 miles Unpaved 544 miles Chip Seal 100 miles Other List of Some Transportation Assets Quantity (Approx.) 50,000 Signs 11,250 (930 miles) Curbs Description 8,200 ADA Ramps 6,380 (475 miles) Sidewalks 6,280 Pipes/Culverts 3,790 Headwalls 420 Bridges 200 Cattle Guards Maintaining an accurate inventory of transportation assets is an ongoing task! 4/3/2018 www.maricopa.gov/technology 5
Legacy System: Roadrunner MCDOT Roadrunner Built in late 1990s Manage roadway information (ownership, maintenance district, pavement, structures, etc.) Uses a linear referencing system (LRS) to locate roadway data 2-Tier System Architecture Desktop Application SQL Server Database 4/3/2018 www.maricopa.gov/technology 6
Legacy System: Roadrunner (cont.) Desktop Application Very thick client Visual Basic 6.0 Esri MapObjects 2.4 for viewing spatial information! Used for viewing & editing Map Viewer supports limited GIS formats (Esri Shapefile and TIFF) Database SQL Server (not a Geodatabase) Role-based Security Shapefiles for viewing assets on map Updated infrequently (once a week) by a batch process 4/3/2018 www.maricopa.gov/technology 7
Linear Referencing Method Linear Event Table: Roadway Shoulder Type Shoulder Type Asphaltic Concrete On Road From Ref From Offset Riggs Rd Maricopa Rd To Ref To Offset Begin Measure 62 ft Maricopa Rd 628 ft 207491 + 62 = 207553 End Measure 207491 + 628 = 208119 4/3/2018 www.maricopa.gov/technology 8
Need for Transformation Outdated Technology Lack of Integration with Other Systems Cumbersome Data Management Workflows These issues lead to data veracity and integrity issues State of the System report identified many technical and business issues 4/3/2018 www.maricopa.gov/technology 9
Tipping Point for Transformation Presented the State of the System Report to leadership Unveiled the technical limitations of our legacy system Mandates from the Director of MCDOT Requested a web-based viewer Road Information Tool Chartered a Road Data Team with members from MCDOT and GIS Investigate utilizing Esri Products including Roads and Highways Hire a consultant for Transportation Asset Management Plan Choose an asset management software 4/3/2018 www.maricopa.gov/technology 10
