This circular summarizes discussions at a peer exchange held in Boise, Idaho, in May 2013. The Transportation Research Board Transportation Information Systems and Technology Committee and the Geographic Information Science and Applications Committee hosted this peer exchange to bring together state transportation executives, chief information officers, and geographic information system experts to present current best practices for integrating spatial and business data, and to discuss strategies to overcoming existing barriers to implementing these solutions. Participants explored both technical and organizational factors and identified priority research needs. Eight state transportation agencies were selected for participation based on their progress and interest in spatial business intelligence products for decision making. A total of 15 individuals from state agencies along with eight individuals from federal agencies, universities, and the private sector participated in the peer exchange. At the peer exchange, attendees focused on three major themes: technical approaches to integrating business and spatial data; opportunities for providing business value; and data governance and collaboration with external partners. Participants then developed three high priority research needs statements: (1) developing a capability maturity model for integrating and using geospatial and business data; (2) investigating techniques for the spatial portrayal of performance measures; and (3) aligning data systems to communicate with decision makers supporting risk-based asset management.
