Abstract:A new web-based geotechnical Geographic Information System (GeoGIS) was developed and tested for the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) during Phase II of this research project. This web-based system stores geotechnical information about transportation projects, such as subsurface data, construction drawings, and design information. Typically this information is in a report or drawing format, but raw data can also be accommodated in the GeoGIS. The goal of this project is to provide a system to easily access and store all of the geotechnical and subsurface structural information from across the State of Alabama. Accesses through a secure web interface allows for keyword searches and interactive map selection. Phase II of this project migrated the desktop version of the GeoGIS, developed during Phase I, to the web. This migration required a complete redesign of the architecture. To the client, or GeoGIS user, the changes are minimal other than logging-in and accessing the site through the web. To the administrator, a more complex, secure, and robust system allows for users, projects, and data to be added and deleted from the GeoGIS. Currently the web-based GeoGIS is populated with the original GIS layers and project data collected during Phase I. It is anticipated that in future phases of this work additional geotechnical data will be added to the system and site improvements will be made.
