Abstract:The University of Akron has developed an on-line traffic sign ordering system, the Smart Sign Ordering System (SSOS), for the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT). The objective of SSOS is to increase the efficiency of the sign ordering process by (1) reducing labor costs due to extended review time, (2) organizing submitted orders on-line so that production schedule can be adjusted and material usage estimated, (3) enabling on-line cost estimation and (4) proving a means of data management for summary of orders and production.
The implemented SSOS is an efficient tool for data exchange between the districts, Central Office and the Sign Shop. It allows automated data entry during preparation of sign orders, and provides on-line data review and modification capabilities. In addition, it enables querying and sorting, and helps tracking the orders in the production and delivery phases. This tool improves work efficiency in the sign ordering by reducing human errors and speeding up the entire order-filling process.
