| 摘要： | As transportation agencies face budget cuts and reductions in staff, they are looking to information technology solutions as a way to improve efficiencies. BI tools offer great potential to help agencies to pinpoint areas of potential savings by combining information across functional areas and offices and enabling in-depth analysis of past trends, monitoring of current expenditures and activities, and tracking of emerging changes. When married to GIS, the value of BI is magnified. Agencies are able to integrate spatial data layers and conduct location-based analyses. However, the ability to integrate disparate data sets to feed BI tools is a stumbling block for effective use of these solutions. Integration of linearly referenced roadway data across systems has been partially addressed through the development of enterprise linear referencing systems (LRS), but many agencies are still struggling to keep multiple roadway data applications in synch. Out-of-the-box BI solutions do not generally include GIS functions. Some state departments of transportation (DOTs) have invested in custom-built GIS-enabled data warehouses, but these require ongoing maintenance, drawing upon limited staff or contractor resources. There is a need to identify current best practices in GIS-enabled BI and to identify strategies for helping agencies to overcome existing barriers to implementing these solutions. The planned joint meeting of state agency GIS professionals and the AASHTO Subcommittee on Information Systems (ASIS) at the GIS for Transportation (GIS-T) Conference in Boise, Idaho, in May 2013 provided a unique opportunity to bring together state DOT managers and GIS and information technology (IT) specialists along with federal, university, and vendor professionals to discuss ways to better leverage available technology solutions to meet DOT business requirements. |
