PennDOT’s Maintenance-IQ for Improved Maintenance, Asset, and Operations Management

October 17, 2019/ GeoDecisions

PennDOT spent the last ten years unable to obtain a single picture of their maintenance and operations activities – pulling from a minimum of 10 different databases that may or may not have maps associated with the data. PennDOT needed a way to streamline the processes – eliminate out-of-sequence rework, get selected maintenance activities “on-cycle” and reduce mobilization and travel time costs.

Preparing for Next Generation 911 Deployment

October 17, 2019/ GeoDecisions

Advancements in communications technology have necessitated the transition from analog 911 systems to a nationwide digital network - Next Generation 911 (NG911).

Before the launch of Virginia’s NG911 solution, the local Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP)’s legacy tabular and GIS datasets must meet a 98% match. To meet these requirements, the City of Franklin sought GeoDecisions’ assistance.

Managing Stormwater Construction Permits

September 26, 2019/ GeoDecisions

The Virginia DEQ is the primary agency responsible for statewide stormwater management control programs to protect water quality. As part of the Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP), DEQ issues individual and general permits that control the amount of stormwater discharge from both municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) and construction activities. DEQ needed an online system to more efficiently track these permits.

Modernizing Water System Data

September 11, 2019/ GeoDecisions

Pennsylvania American Water (PAWC) needed a more accurate way to manage the assets throughout its infrastructure. PAWC originally tracked the location of its assets, such as hydrants, street valves and water mains, with computer-aided design (CAD) drawings. The CAD files were a graphic representation of the system, based on paper maps created from field information without the precise location indicated. The uncertainty of asset location caused delays in response time to work orders.

Shared Data-Platform for the City of Bradford

September 06, 2019/ GeoDecisions

With an ever-increasing demand on services, BCWA and BSA needed an application that could store and share information, while addressing the needs of each department separately. BCWA and BSA serve people in and around the City of Bradford, Pennsylvania. These authorities needed easily accessible, accurate, and up-to-date mapping to assist with asset management and day-to-day workflow.

NCDOT Advanced Transportation through Linkages, Automation, and Screening (ATLAS)

August 19, 2019/ GeoDecisions

NCDOT’s project’s lacked standard deliverables, spatial data, integration across enterprises, single source data authority, and the ability to track project status. These issues slowed North Carolina’s environmental review process required for NCDOT projects to remain compliant with the federally mandated National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

PennDOT’s Guide Rail Management App

June 10, 2019/ GeoDecisions

PennDOT’s BOMO needed to automate the process of tracking the damage, repair, and replacement of guide rails and end treatments. With guide rail activities occurring daily in the field, data was captured manually and could not adequately be tracked and monitored at the state level with the Roadway Management System (RMS). Reimbursements would take months because management could not easily ensure policy compliance.

PennDOT Connects - Mapping & Collaboration Portal

April 02, 2019/ GeoDecisions

Pennsylvania is a large state with a population greater than 12 million, 11 districts, more than 2500 municipalities and more than 41,000 miles or roadway. PennDOT needed a better way to enhance cooperation between districts, planning partners, ad municipalities in their work to identify and address the commonwealth’s most pressing infrastructure needs.
