Challenge	The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is responsible for managing over 8,000 miles of state and interstate highways within Oregon, along with programs related to highways, roads and bridges, railways, public transportation services, transportation safety programs, and motor carrier regulation. Previously, ODOT managed their transportation assets using legacy systems that ran on various technologies, performed functions they were not originally designed for, and duplicated data across multiple repositories. Meeting government reporting requirements involved months of custom coding, manual updating, and vigilant error-checking. ODOT needed a new, comprehensive, linear asset management solution – one that would enable more efficient data capture, analysis, and information mobility that would streamline processes and improve regulatory reporting.

About Customer	The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is a government agency responsible for the establishment and regulation of the state's transportation infrastructure. This includes the management of over 8,000 miles of state and interstate highways within Oregon. ODOT also oversees programs related to highways, roads and bridges, railways, public transportation services, transportation safety programs, and motor carrier regulation. The department is tasked with meeting state and federal reporting requirements, which necessitates a comprehensive understanding of what assets they have and where they are located. This challenge is compounded by the fact that the network with which they are associated is constantly changing. Read More
Solution	ODOT implemented TransInfo, a USD 3.3 million linear asset management system built on Bentley’s AssetWise asset performance software. This system created a connected data environment where information integrity and availability is assured. TransInfo provides a unified view of the entire road network and associated features, integrates all assets into a single information and asset management system, and maintains seamless spatial representations of all the data. AssetWise provides a single source of truth for ODOT to manage all roadway asset information including spatial network data, inventory and maintenance data, asset data, road geometry data, and road classification data. ODOT also began using Bentley’s Transportation Intelligence Gateway (TIG), which provides powerful and flexible operational analytics that are integrated into ODOT’s transactional system and uses linearly referenced data.

About Customer

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is a government agency responsible for the establishment and regulation of the state's transportation infrastructure. This includes the management of over 8,000 miles of state and interstate highways within Oregon. ODOT also oversees programs related to highways, roads and bridges, railways, public transportation services, transportation safety programs, and motor carrier regulation.

Solution

ODOT implemented TransInfo, a USD 3.3 million linear asset management system built on Bentley’s AssetWise asset performance software. This system created a connected data environment where information integrity and availability is assured. TransInfo provides a unified view of the entire road network and associated features, integrates all assets into a single information and asset management system, and maintains seamless spatial representations of all the data. AssetWise provides a single source of truth for ODOT to manage all roadway asset information including spatial network data, inventory and maintenance data, asset data, road geometry data, and road classification data. ODOT also began using Bentley’s Transportation Intelligence Gateway (TIG), which provides powerful and flexible operational analytics that are integrated into ODOT’s transactional system and uses linearly referenced data.

Impact #1	The implementation of TransInfo and AssetWise has transformed the operations of ODOT. The system has increased ODOT’s ability to respond to the ever-changing needs of various safety programs through better data accuracy, increased ability to produce both tabular and map-based reports, and the option to quickly add new fields to the database to track additional data as needed. The extracts and reports have also been created for the TripCheck web applications, which benefit Oregon residents who use web applications to stay informed about road closures and traffic incidents on state highways. ODOT has been able to provide data that is quickly accessible, more comprehensive, and solidly defensible to customers through enhanced reporting functionality and increased accuracy of the captured data. This complex reporting was not possible before the implementation of AssetWise and the TIG reporting capability. The solution acts as a business intelligence capability to help the agency understand the current state of assets, make better maintenance decisions, and proactively manage transportation assets.

Benefit #1	Using Bentley applications reduced the time and effort required to prepare federal reports by 83 percent.
Benefit #2	Data management efficiency was increased by 20 to 25 percent and reporting efficiency increased by an average of 60 percent.
Benefit #3	ODOT estimates that its TransInfo system powered by Bentley’s AssetWise will deliver a total return on investment of USD 6.1 million over five years.
