• Abstract:
  The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) manages a huge right-of-way asset. Examples of core ; processes related to this asset include determining right-of-way boundaries; inventorying roadside features; ; preparing right-of-way maps; acquiring, selling, and leasing assets; and regulating the accommodation of ; utilities within the right-of-way. Ready access to related information is a key requirement not just for ; streamlining project delivery but also throughout the life cycle of transportation infrastructure facilities. This ; report summarizes the results of research conducted to assist FDOT in developing a strategic implementation ; plan for the management of right-of-way parcel and utility data at the department. To support this effort, the ; research involved a review of current FDOT systems and practices and development of recommendations as ; to what vision and/or strategies to pursue. More specifically, the research included conducting meetings with ; key stakeholders, reviewing and analyzing existing documentation, developing data models, conducting a ; demonstration of a prototype application developed to test the data models, examining potential implications ; related to the Bentley Map® initiative, and preparing recommendations for implementation. Meetings with ; key stakeholders included meetings with officials from Central Office as well as Districts 5 and 6. The ; purpose of the meetings was to learn or confirm information about business processes, systems, and other ; items of interest in connection with the management of right-of-way parcel and utility data. Also of interest ; was to gather suitable sample project data. The research included a comprehensive review of MicroStation ; design libraries in use at the department and a determination on how to apply this information to the ; development of a data model and protocol for the extraction of parcel and utility data from MicroStation into ; a geographic information system (GIS) environment. The research team evaluated expanded and compact ; versions of the data model, which includes features, feature attributes, and linkages to other business ; processes within the department, including projects and documents. Recommendations include ; implementing a systematic use of existing survey and Bentley GEOPAK® data to generate parcel shapes in ; Bentley MicroStation® for later use in other applications including GIS as well as a systematic database ; approach for managing utility-related levels in MicroStation. Recommendations also include steps for ; integrating parcel and utility data into FDOT’s enterprise GIS framework.
