“Segment Analyzer combines all our disparate server data into one centralized playground based on our linear referencing system. It’s quick, intuitive, and provides a reliable way to combine and analyze data from different tables, which was normally difficult to do.”

State Transportation Department Streamlines Data Collection and Reporting with Rizing’s Segment Analyzer

The State Transportation Department’s mission is to provide safe and efficient transportation solutions to support the state’s economy and enhance the quality of life for generations to come.

Employing approximately 3,700 people, the department is responsible for the maintenance and management of more than 16,000 miles (26,000 km) of highways. The department headquarters are located in the state capital.

Rizing Geospatial specializes in transportation business and data processes, data integration and reporting, linear referencing system (LRS) design and implementation, and spatial data design and visualization.

The Project

The department has access to multiple data sources and databases across the entire state. Their GIS team wanted to:

  • Combine multiple data sources for complex analyses
  • Create crash reports from law enforcement data
  • Build detailed road inventories
  • Integrate All Road Network of Linear Referenced Data (ARNOLD)
  • Meet departmental and federal requirements

The agency found it difficult to create the reports or analysis they needed to make business decisions because the data was spread across unrelated databases.

Why Rizing

The department came to Rizing because we had solved this problem for many of their peer DOTs. Our reputation for quick, on-budget DOT implementations made us the clear choice for products, application integrations, and services.

Rizing Segment Analyzer

Rizing’s expert GIS consultants installed and configured our Segment Analyzer and Job Execution Manager (JEM) products.

Segment Analyzer combines road characteristic data stored in normalized relational tables into segmented tables. Analysts can then use the tables and centerline geometry for additional reports and data validations or as input into operational systems. Analysts can also download output from Segment Analyzer in various formats.

Job Execution Manager (JEM) lets users schedule, manage, and execute jobs using workflows and chained actions. It features a flexible queuing engine able to work with multiple applications. JEM also has a drag-and-drop job builder to define actions, send email notifications, and coordinate follow-up work when jobs are completed.

JEM provides the department the ability to build Segment Analyzer templates that can be kicked off automatically whenever they are required.

With the Rizing tools in place, our team provided customized training and support to the department staff.

Business Outcomes

  • Rizing assisted the department in configuring seven templates including crash and road data for law enforcement, a more complete master data inventory, and the conditions of road intersections.
  • The department will also use Rizing’s solutions to help them meet HPMS requirements.
  • Rizing’s history and experience with similar projects enabled our consultants to complete the project on budget and without issue.
