• Abstract:
  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 ;  TMIS was developed using a software program that is now outdated.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.
