Abstract:This project initiated the development of such a comprehensive asset management system in Louisiana, starting with traffic sign inventory in a single parish. The project’s primary goal was to undertake a pilot field inventory of sign attribute data for Ascension Parish. Objectives included training regional LADOTD officials for its own inventories and providing the department with a basis for estimating time, labor, and equipment requirements for future sign inventory programs.
A pilot field inventory of sign attribute data was undertaken for Ascension Parish and, using a commercially available software system, a data entry/storage system was developed, and sign inventory information was entered into a database. The inventory used state-of-the-practice mapping and referencing systems that may serve as a model for future statewide inventory and management systems. These future systems could permit LADOTD to track and monitor the number, location, and condition of every traffic sign within their inventory.
As part of the project, LADOTD officials were also trained to develop procedures to use in their own inventories and databases. A final objective of the project was to evaluate the amount of effort needed for the project so the department will be able to estimate future time, labor, and equipment needs that may be involved in similar sign inventory programs in the future.
