Abstract:

This paper describes the Roadside Spray Application (RoSA) developed for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT). The purpose of this web-based geographic information system (GIS) application is to assist PennDOT's district roadside specialists in managing and coordinating herbicide spray activities along state highways throughout the state of Pennsylvania. The outputs from this application are GIS mapping and summary reports to manage the 2- and 3-year maintenance spray cycles in each county. In the past, this roadside vegetation management function was exclusively in a paper media. Consequently, the district roadside specialists developed maintenance spray maps and summary reports manually. Now, the RoSA application produces the maps and reports while handling various spraying operations (tank mix, injection, and end result) and providing additional layers of information (water features, guide rail, government properties, and boundaries, etc.) for managing the roadside integrated vegetation management (IVM) program. RoSA provides a centralized database for the maintenance and operations of the roadside IVM program. RoSA is a web-based spatial application built using Microsoft's .NET development technology. This was the first application built by PennDOT's GIS Division using this new technology.
