Abstract:The Louisiana Department of Transportation (LADOTD) has been collecting geotechnical data for many years in a variety of different formats. Accessing this data and combining it with new data for the purpose of design, analysis, visualization, and reporting is difficult because the data has been generated by disparate systems and stored as hard copies, scanned images, various digital formats, or other non-digital formats such as Microfilm. Essentially, there is no single system or repository nor an integrated, systematic approach for collecting, managing, reporting, archiving, and retrieving the vast amount of geotechnical data is collected or generated by LADOTD each year.
With advances in computing capabilities, software tools are now available that streamline the entire data management process from data collection through reporting, archiving, and map-based retrieval/reporting. Dataforensics created a plan to integrate and implement a customized data management system to fulfill the needs of LADOTD. This Enterprise Global Information System (GIS)-based Geotechnical Data Management System is comprised of various off -the-shelf software packages including PLog Enterprise, RAPID CPT, gINT, ArcGIS, and ArcGIS Server. It enables LADOTD to store geotechnical data in a consistent database format while improving the reliability and accessibility to key stakeholders.
