Recently developing one of
the transportation industry’s first WiFi-enabled mobile asset management
systems, Florida Turnpike is now able to dynamically collect and readily access
asset and geospatial information in the field.
After developing the Turnpike
Enterprise Asset Management System (TEAMS), the Florida Turnpike quickly
recognized the necessity to migrate their data into Oracle Spatial, a foundation
for deploying enterprise-wide spatial information systems. Florida Turnpike then
selected Leica ADE, a geospatial enterprise solution providing web-based and
wireless location-based applications fully integrated with Oracle databases and
application server technologies. Leica ADE operates in a disconnected and
connected environment, allowing Florida Turnpike to migrate to WiFi technology
without redesigning or redeveloping their data maintenance or reporting
components.
“The future of mobile
information technology requires a system that provides the same data access and
analysis capabilities in the field as it does in the office—Leica ADE has given
us this capability,” said Jesse Day, TEAMS Data Maintenance Manager. “With this
solution, asset attribution, spatial location and photos can be collected or
updated in the field and in our production database on the same day,
significantly reducing the data QC cost, while improving data currency and
accuracy.”
This comprehensive solution
allows staff to copy live data onto their laptop, update or collect new data in
the field, and then, when back in the office, instantly upload new data into
TEAMS. Built upon Oracle Spatial, Leica ADE seamlessly integrates with the
system, providing swift and accurate information on the exiting sign inventory,
assuring a timely restoration of signage after inclement weather. The
efficiency added with Leica ADE allows emergency response crews to respond
appropriately, therefore impacting the safety of the motoring
public.
It was not unusual for the
Turnpike’s previous data collection and QC process to take up to 60 days to move
data from collection into production. The new data collection system reduces
this time from days to hours, and estimates an annual savings of multiple
person-years.
“Florida Turnpike’s success
following the implementation of the Leica ADE software suite highlights the
industry’s growing need for enterprise solutions for better geospatial data
management,” said Bob Morris, President and CEO, Leica Geosystems Geospatial
Imaging. “Emergency response crews now have accurate data, quickly and
completely updated throughout the system, providing the Turnpike’s motorists
with safety, even after severe weather.”
