• Abstract:
  A previous study of information systems at the Division of Planning at the Delaware ; Department of Transportation (DelDOT) was conducted in response to concerns about ; data management issues and what could be done to improve information systems. Some ; of the findings of that study were: ; • Improvement is needed to meet information needs that are less predictable, that ; involve bringing many types of information together from many sources. ; • There was a need to be able to more easily find information. ; • Easier access to information was desired. ; • There was a need for better information integration. Often transportation data ; used by the Division of Planning was combined from many sources and there ; were some difficulties in relating the information. ; • There was an interest in determining an appropriate direction for further ; development of geographical information systems to meet analysis and ; presentation needs.
