ESRI Roads and Highways

Description:

The ESRI Roads and Highways tool integrates and links crash data with other data types. A geospatial database supports federal reporting of road inventory and highway performance statistics, integrating information across interdepartmental agencies, and sharing data between agencies. The program includes highway safety analysis capabilities, including multivariate crash analysis that considers traffic volumes and highway characteristics. The Crash Safety Web Analysis Template employs traditional network screening methods (e.g., sliding scale, spot, and strip analysis), producing reports of high crash locations and selected crash records. The Crash Safety Dashboard Template supports data management, planning/analysis, field mobility, and situation awareness. Users can collect, analyze, and distribute geospatial crash data on mobile devices. The ESRI Roads and Highways tool provides the following features:

  • Integrate Enterprise Data: Highway agencies manage and maintain a broad spectrum of information about their roadways. The data from external systems can be kept current and synchronized with the edits made to the linear reference system (LRS), enabling data interoperability and sharing across all business units.
  • Maintain Your LRS: Visualize and maintain roadway networks and associated data. Rule-based location management allows the user to define how event measures and route associations should react to changes in the LRS, keeping business data aligned with roadway network changes.
  • Analyze and Report: ESRI Roads and Highways spatially incorporates business data from non-geographic information system (GIS) databases and integrates it through the LRS. Roads and Highways, in concert with the ArcGIS platform can be used to generate a variety of reports as well as produce data products and maps that support safety analysis, traffic congestion analysis, and infrastructure maintenance planning. These reports and data products can provide government and public entities transparency into many facets of highway based data such as highway assets, incidents, and roadway characteristics.
  • Web-Based Roadway Characteristics Editing: Perform roadway characteristics editing utilizing any HTML5-enabled web browser. This allows organizations to extend the reach of their workflows across the enterprise to include users and groups without prior GIS software and application accessibility. These groups can create and edit event data from a map-centric experience from within a web browser.
  • Map Production Tools: ESRI Roads and Highways includes a complete map production system that can help to standardize map making activities with tools to batch create, print, and export map products.
  • Quality Control Tools: ESRI Roads and Highways includes a quality assurance and quality control system with tools for automated and visual review processes to asses, document, correct, and verify the overall quality of spatial data.
  • Workflow Management Tools: This allows the user to coordinate and track work across an organization using standardized and streamlined workflows. Workflow Management tools provide visibility into day-to-day job progress that allow the user to track the status and progress of jobs. A history of actions is automatically recorded for each job, providing a detailed account of how the job was completed.
