Landscape Inventory and Management System Technology for Highway Transportation
Author: Harlow C. Landphair
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Highway engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
The application of computer based, spatial information technology (GIS) to management of transportation facilities is becoming increasingly important. This project was for the development of a spatially referenced system for management of roadside landscape and irrigation development in Arizona. Texas Transportation Institute, Environmental Management Program with the Arizona Department of Transportation's (ADOT's) assistance completed the research activities associated with the identification of needs, an assessment of the ADOT's computing environment, conceptual design of the management system, evaluation of hardware and software, the pilot demonstration and subsequent trial implementation activities. The research focused on the development of a "paperless" management system where the integration of technologies is the key to an effective system. The project consisted of the development of a spatially referenced mapping system for highway landscape and irrigation inventory, integration of intelligent maps into handheld data collection devices, collection of information into handheld devices, and incorporation of these new technologies into existing data management systems. Upon completion of the trial implementation period the evaluations suggest that the system, because of its limited focus and high degree of complexity is probably not cost effective. This judgement is based on the fact that this system is a highly specialized system serving a very small segment of the overall maintenance mission of the ADOT. To be efficient and cost effective, a wider range of maintenance activities would have to be integrated into a single system framework. In the final analysis, the research successfully established a conceptual framework around which a new maintenance management system can evolve.

Encyclopedia of Transportation
Author: Mark Garrett
Publisher: SAGE Publications
ISBN: 148334651X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 2000
Book Description
Viewing transportation through the lens of current social, economic, and policy aspects, this four-volume reference work explores the topic of transportation across multiple disciplines within the social sciences and related areas, including geography, public policy, business, and economics. The book’s articles, all written by experts in the field, seek to answer such questions as: What has been the legacy, not just economically but politically and socially as well, of President Eisenhower’s modern interstate highway system in America? With that system and the infrastructure that supports it now in a state of decline and decay, what’s the best path for the future at a time of enormous fiscal constraints? Should California politicians plunge ahead with plans for a high-speed rail that every expert says—despite the allure—will go largely unused and will never pay back the massive investment while at this very moment potholes go unfilled all across the state? What path is best for emerging countries to keep pace with dramatic economic growth for their part? What are the social and financial costs of gridlock in our cities? Features: Approximately 675 signed articles authored by prominent scholars are arranged in A-to-Z fashion and conclude with Further Readings and cross references. A Chronology helps readers put individual events into historical context; a Reader’s Guide organizes entries by broad topical or thematic areas; a detailed index helps users quickly locate entries of most immediate interest; and a Resource Guide provides a list of journals, books, and associations and their websites. While articles were written to avoid jargon as much as possible, a Glossary provides quick definitions of technical terms. To ensure full, well-rounded coverage of the field, the General Editor with expertise in urban planning, public policy, and the environment worked alongside a Consulting Editor with a background in Civil Engineering. The index, Reader’s Guide, and cross references combine for thorough search-and-browse capabilities in the electronic edition. Available in both print and electronic formats, Encyclopedia of Transportation is an ideal reference for libraries and those who want to explore the issues that surround transportation in the United States and around the world.
