Abstract:Problem: The districts submit sign orders to the Sign Shop,
where all approved orders are processed in
production planning, fabrication, and subsequent
shipping. Due to lack of data automation and
efficient means of data exchange and management,
engineers/technicians often need to look into the
Manual before filling the information line-by-line in
the order form. This process is slow and errors often
occur in the current practice.
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 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.
