• Description:
  In August of 2006 the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) initiated State Study No. 191, entitled “Feasibility
  
  Study for the Redesign of MDOT’s Pavement Management System (PMS) Software.” At the initiation of this study, the
  
  Department identified some of the deficiencies of the current tools:
  
   The data integration tools envisioned with the current software, Transportation Management Information System
  
  (TMIS), such as ad hoc querying and dynamic segmentation, were not developed fully.
  
   TMIS was developed using a software program that is now outdated. As a result, the Department is limited in its
  
  ability to upgrade certain programs (such as Sybase, MGE, and GeoMedia) because upgrades to these programs
  
  render TMIS useless.
  
   The Department is moving towards the Oracle database platform and web enablement for all applications, which are
  
  not possible with TMIS.
  
   Processes for updating linear referencing changes in base maps are cumbersome and labor‐intensive.
  
   The pavement maintenance treatments in TMIS do not fully reflect the Department’s current business processes.
  
   The pavement management database and optimization tools are not fully integrated.
  
  In order to address these deficiencies, the current research study has focused on finalizing the list of desired pavement
  
  management capabilities and evaluating the feasible software strategies in order to develop this implementation plan and
  
  associated cost estimate. In summary, this study provides a needs assessment, evaluation of software strategies, and a
  
  Request for Proposal (RFP) draft.
