State departments of transportation (DOTs) in the United States are responsible for the safe operation and management of vast assets. Core management processes include determining right-of-way boundaries; inventorying roadside features; preparing right-of-way maps; acquiring, selling, and leasing assets; and regulating the accommodation of utilities in the right-of-way. Ready access to related information is a key requirement for streamlining project delivery and asset management throughout the life cycle of transportation infrastructure facilities. The results of research conducted to assist the Florida DOT in developing a strategic implementation plan for the management of right-of-way parcel and utility data at the department are summarized. For support of this effort, current Florida DOT systems were assessed, Florida DOT management practices were reviewed, and recommendations for a long-term vision and strategies to manage right-of-way parcel and utility data were developed. Research included a comprehensive review of Florida DOT MicroStation design libraries and a determination of the way to apply this information to the development of a data model and a protocol for the extraction of parcel and utility data from MicroStation into a geographic information system (GIS) environment. The research team evaluated both expanded and compact versions of the data model that included linkages to other business processes in the department. Recommendations include implementing the systematic use of existing survey and GEOPAK data to generate parcel shapes in MicroStation for later use in other applications, including the GIS environment, and a systematic database approach to managing utility-related levels in MicroStation.
