The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) manages more than 88,000 miles of roadways and 20,000 bridges. Since 1973, the inventory for the roadways and bridges has been maintained by the Tennessee Roadway Information Management System (TRIMS), an information management system (IMS) mainframe database. In the past, inventory data was only accessible to around 20 employees, and a great deal of knowledge about the structure was required to access the information.It could sometimes take hours or even days for users to receive the reports they needed to support day-to-day operations. Requiring greater accessibility to the TRIMS data, TDOT selected Intergraph to provide a TRIMS database accessible to a wider range of employees while decreasing time in generating reports.
