• Abstract:
  For over 30 years, the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) has had an LRS called MACS ; (MilePoint And Coded Segment), which is being implemented on a mainframe using a ; COBOL/CICS platform. As ITD began embracing newer technologies and moving toward a ; more client-server based computing environment, it is becoming increasingly burdensome to ; access MACS. Initial studies have been conducted to review the needs for a new LRS system, ; including an LRS Needs and Recommendations Study in 2006. The scope of this research task ; (BP – 198) is to review the findings from the 2006 LRS study, and reevaluate the agency’s ; needs for LRS and the extent to which commercially available LRS systems or the LRS ; systems being used for other states will satisfy these needs. Based on the review findings, ; strategies are proposed and recommendation is made regarding how ITD can incrementally ; move to a GIS-enabled LRS system and what would be the cost and benefit implications.
