Title: MARYLAND'S DEVELOPMENT OF A STATEWIDE GIS FOR HIGHWAY MANAGEMENT
Accession Number: 00760753
Record Type: Component
Availability: American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) 444 North Capitol Street, NW Abstract: The Maryland State Highway Administration (MSHA) is in the midst of developing and deploying an agency wide Geographic Information System (GIS). The system, when complete, will connect approximately 200 staff members to a common database of MSHA business data and spatial layers. The user community is dispersed across the state at the agency headquarters in Baltimore and 8 remote locations. This paper discusses phases of Maryland GIS project which have progressed to the point where we have contended with important issues, evaluated alternatives and selected courses of action. The paper is written from both the perspective of the agency that will use the GIS and the perspective of the firm that is developing the actual GIS application.
Supplemental Notes: Additional sponsorship provided by the Highway Engineering Exchange Program, the National Association of Regional Councils, and the Urban and Regional Information Systems Association.
