Transportation Data Management System

If you're concerned about traffic safety, congestion, and pollution; and if saving time and money sounds appealing, there's some good news for you.

Effectively managing traffic data has never been easier, more detailed, or more affordable. There are now web-based transportation data management systems available for nearly every budget. These programs use the power of the Internet and GIS technology to provide transportation professionals with better tools--that are easier to use than ever before--for less than they spend now.

Specific benefits available include:
  • Powerful data management capabilities
  • Interactive gis maps and databases
  • Built in data validation
  • Automated creation of forms and reports
  • Accurate inventory / cost estimates
  • Ease of use / minimal training time

But the biggest benefit is knowing that you're getting the safest, most accurate, efficient, and cost effective transportation data management systems available anywhere.

"In the wake of the 35W bridge collapse, this has become a very handy tool. People who are seeing it for the first time are really impressed. Luckily, we had finished a bunch of counts in the bridge area before it fell down. That has become extremely useful for planning and detouring and adding new lanes."
