The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) collects a large amount of data for a variety of reasons and uses. Much of the data are required by federal legislation. Other data elements are collected because they will help INDOT fulfill its mission, which is to plan, build, maintain and operate a superior transportation system enhancing safety, mobility, and economic growth. The majority of the data is addressing mobility and congestion. Other data concern physical assets, including infrastructure inventory such as roadway geometry, pavement condition, and bridge condition, and nonphysical assets such as safety-related measures. The challenges involved in transportation data collection and management are faced by all state departments of transportation. INDOT operates in a changing environment. Funding is decreasing, and traffic volumes decline when economic conditions falter. |
