Geographic Information Management System Redesign Project

The GIMS Redesign Project aims to enhance location data accuracy and usability for roadway associations by transitioning to a centralized business and centerline data source. This redesign offers improved mapping support, real-time data access, and simplified views for enhanced planning activities. Featuring reduced data redundancy and seamless integration with private and public features, the redesigned GIMS provides a comprehensive solution for managing attribute data along roadways efficiently.

  1. GIMS REDESIGN PROJECT

  2. WHAT IS GIMS?

  3. Geographic Information Management System Attributed Roadway Centerlines Business Data

  4. GIMS Purpose • Central business data source • Centerline data source • Cartographic Support • CTAMS Input • Support for Planning Activities and Reporting Mandates

  5. WHY REDESIGN GIMS?

  6. Improved Location Data

  7. Improved Data to Roadway Association • Detail of features located along the roadway will increase. • Move from capturing number of features (stop signs, curves, intersections per segment, etc.) to actual location of features.

  8. External Data Maintenance

  9. User Needs • Real Time Data • Simplified Map Views • Meta Data • Added Features • Better Synchronized Data • Simplified Data Use • Private Features

  10. Integration with LRS • Seamless interface • Single environment

  11. HOW WILL GIMS BE DIFFERENT?

  12. Lane Width AADT Sufficiency Ratings Bridges Normalized Data • Data are maintained in individual tables, limiting data redundancy • Attributes describe varying extents along a section of roadway • Graphic representations of attribute data are generated “on the fly”

  13. Less Redundancy in Data Maintenance • IRI • Surface Types • Traffic • Location Data

  14. Changes in Traditional Outputs • Temporal Data • Real Time Data • External Access to Data • Metadata

  15. Estimated Timeline • July 2004 – Proof of Concept for new data model completed. • July 2005 – Ability to maintain current GIMS features in new database model. • December 2005 – New functionality will be added to redesigned GIMS. • July 2006 – Modules will be added for external users.
