 GIS Application in Developing a Roadway Feature Inventory Program Track: Transportation Author(s): Manoj Jha, Jawad Abdullah, Devang Dave In recent years GIS has been applied in many engineering fields, including transportation and highway engineering. This presentation reports on a recent project for the collection and dissemination of roadway feature inventory data. A requirements document was compiled for the development of a Roadway Feature Inventory Program (RFIP) based on the needs and requirements of the roadway feature inventory personnel at the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA). It was based on information captured through a series of Joint Application Development (JAD) sessions and interviews. The primary focus was to collect and update data using electronic aids, such as a handheld GPS unit, for management to decide on the most efficient manner to allocate scarce resources in the provision of adequate service. Dynamic segmentation was used for storing the data. This presentation discusses the GIS aspects of the RFIP development.
