• 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.
