What is GIS?

• GIS is a technology that manages, analyzes, and
  disseminates geographic knowledge.
• GIS lets you model scenarios to test various
  hypotheses and see outcomes visually
• GIS is, therefore, about modeling and mapping the
  world for better decision making.

GIS Technologies

• Spatial Datasets
• Road Network
• Routes, ramps, rail, bridges
• Permanent restrictions
• Low Clearance, weight, lane width, turning
  radius
• Temporary restrictions
• Construction,maintenance, environmental, major
  accidents

GIS Technologies

• Geocoding
• Use address ranges, road names and zip code data
  on the road network to locate addresses.
• Find the begin and end point for the route
  quicker and more accurately.

GIS Technologies

• Routing
• Programmatically find the most efficient route
  between locations on the road network.
• Use restriction data associated with the road
  segments in comparison to the vehicle specs to
  determine the most acceptable route.

Using the Technologies for Permitting

• Online process
• Accounts setup
• Online permit submittal
• Envelope Routes
• Predefined routes
• Approval based on envelope selection, vehicle
  setup, date of travel and restrictions posted for
  the travel time.
• Manual Review
• Geocoded locations
• New GIS based Bridge and Restriction Maps.
• Electronic payment
• Online permit printing

Using the Technologies for Permitting

• Future Processes
• Automatic Route Generation and alternatives.
• User selects begin and end points and date for
  travel.
• System analyzes all possible routes based on
• Vehicle configuration
• Temporary restrictions on routes during travel
  time
• Permanent route restrictions
• Results are one or many of the following
• Primary route (shortest or quickest route)
• Alternative routes
• Alternative dates if no successful route is found
  within the given travel time and the cause for no
  routes to be found was a temporary restriction.
• Manual review

Using the Technologies for Permitting

• Restriction Mapping other uses
• Develop Adobe PDF maps and online dynamic maps to
  show current restrictions to general public
• Restriction data is used in public 511 system for
  traffic conditions reported via phone.
• Restriction database allows for a single
  repository of all restriction, construction,
  maintenance, environmental and major accidents to
  be disseminated to parties that need to be
  informed via pager, email, list-serv and internet
  applications.
• Data entry of restrictions can occur at the most
  appropriate levels within state government.
• INDOT District and sub-district offices
• INDOT Traffic Management Centers
• State Police District Offices
