Abstract:
In the Smart Sign Ordering System (Phase I) the

University of Akron developed an on-line

interactive traffic-sign ordering system for ODOT.

The main focus of SSOS Phase I was to provide

ODOT with a fully automated and networked sign

ordering system for data exchange between

ODOT’s field districts, the Central Office, and the

Sign Shop, and by means of the system to reduce

order preparation and handling time, make needed

modifications to the orders on-line, and reduce

errors in the order review and processing process.

However, SSOS does not include many critical

elements needed by the Sign Shop to organize, plan,

produce and deliver traffic signs. First, the Sign

Shop needs to replace the old JIMANI program for

data management during the planning, production,

and delivery processes. Secondly, during

production, the Sign Shop needs to track the

production status of each order in every processing

step. The Sign Shop also must implement the new

federal sign codes for all its producible signs. In

addition, the Sign Shop needs to have the ability to

add, delete, and make changes to the design features

of its signs according to new standards.

Another most needed feature with the SSOS model

is Component Pricing, by which the Sign Shop can

determine the price of each order according to

different materials, production methods, and

production procedures.
