Abstract:The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD), like many state highway agencies in the United States, lacks a comprehensive system for inventorying and maintaining records of traffic signs. To address this problem, state highway departments around the country have, or are beginning to develop, computerbased sign inventory systems that allow highway department personnel to count, locate, and monitor the maintenance and condition of their sign inventories. This project involved the initial step in creating a statewide traffic sign inventory system in Louisiana.
As part of this project, an inventory of 3,646 traffic signs was compiled on 147.4 miles of state highways in Ascension Parish using a state-of-the-practice computer-based GIS mapping and GPS referencing database. In addition to providing the Ascension Parish sign inventory in digital form, it is expected that the results of this project will also help the DOTD to evaluate the merits of the equipment, technologies, and methods used in the project and serve as the basis for estimating time, labor, and equipment requirements for future sign inventory programs.
