Hawaii Department of Transportation, United States

A Statewide Highway System for Hawaii

highway The Hawaii Department of Transportation/Highways Division (HDOT), with many offices spread over a number of locations and islands, is responsible for highway planning, design, construction, maintenance, and operations. Complex processes such as planning new road proposals involve many stakeholders and multiple sources of information. To support these efforts, the HDOT manages a large collection of information for the state and federal highways.This data includes:

Traffic station locations, which help determine traffic flow volumes
Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) data, a federally mandated system
Highway inventory assets and attributes, such as guardrails, call boxes, and pavement types

The voluminous amounts of data collected led to a situation where the agency was “rich in data” but “information poor.” In other words, the HDOT had enough data, but needed to organize it so specific information could be retrieved in a reasonable period of time to support decision-making processes. To achieve this goal, the HDOT partnered with Intergraph to provide efficient data access in support of their many work processes.
