• Abstract:
  The Louisiana Department of Transportation (LADOTD) has collected 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 that 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.
