Abstract

Maryland State Highway Administration's Office of Highway Development GIS Portal
Track: Transportation
Authors: Carl Henderson, Ashley Hale, Jeff Roberts

The Maryland State Highway Administration's Office of Highway Development (OHD) develops and maintains a vast amount of highway design project information ranging from project locations, finances, and schedules to seventy year old construction. Historically, this data has been stored in a myriad of disparate databases and file room drawers making it challenging to maintain and difficult to access. Using Esri's ArcGIS Server technologies, JMT designed and developed an OHD GIS Portal to provide a centralized gateway to all OHD data organized by geographic location. Users of the Portal have the ability to search and locate their area of interest on an interactive map and see the range of available OHD data for that location. More than just a web mapping application, the OHD GIS Portal is a framework for consolidating and organizing OHD data and tools to facilitate the management of State roadway projects throughout their full lifecycle.
