• Abstract:
  The Sign Inventory Management and Ordering System (SIMOS) design is a merger of existing manually maintained information management systems married to PennDOT's GIS and department-wide mainframe database to form a logical connection for enhanced sign management. To minimize the development costs, consideration was given to utilize existing hardware, software, communication channel and applications. The SIMOS project involved recommendations for reengineering the sign inventory/management procedures currently in place, and provides the technological solutions for effective statewide sign management.
