Title: FIELD TESTING AND EVALUATION OF INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES FOR MAINTENANCE DATA COLLECTION
Accession Number: 00681817
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Automated electronic procedures for data capture and transmission appear to be superior compared with manual paper-based methods. Many highway agencies are now either using or exploring some of these innovative technologies for many of their data collection activities. For maintenance management, a variety of recording and data entry procedures involving pen and paper could be considerably improved using electronic equipment such as portable and pen-based computers, identification technologies including barcoding and voice recognition, and location systems such as global positioning system and geographic information system. In addition, data transmission can be accomplished much faster and in real time between distant locations using telecommunications systems such as mobile phones. The application of advanced data acquisition technologies for maintenance management in state highway departments is summarized.
