Highway Access Controls: Decision Support Utilizing Spatial Coordination
Track: Transportation
Author(s): Curtis Pulford, Anurag Mehta

Wisconsin Department of Transportation's Highway Access Management System (HAMS) is a one-stop Web portal designed to simultaneously answer all questions related to DOT reviews and to provide end-to-end automation for the business process and workflow of driveway permits and land division reviews. These reviews require the simultaneous addressing of temporal, legal, spatial, and automation aspects given the multifaceted nature of the access management process. Conceived as a decision support system, HAMS is a data warehouse with several components including a document management system; roadway data repository; an engineering, GIS, and USGS 24K quads server; as well as a core relational database that holds data on land divisions, keywords, the State Access Management Plan, statutory access controls, and data from a workflow tracking system. HAMS combines the capabilities of all these components into one spatially driven Web interface so that the interaction of the user with the system is simple and straightforward.
