Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) has adopted and been actively using GIS technology to improve its 18,000-centerline-mile (28,962-km) system's highway pavement management for the past few years. An Oracle client/server and GIS-based pavement management module were developed by Georgia Tech and have been successfully implemented by GDOT since 2000. This client/server-based GIS module was designed to integrate seamlessly with the Oracle central database in which the pavement condition survey data reside. Once the pavement condition data surveyed by 60 field engineers had been uploaded to the central database, the managers were able to visualize statewide pavement conditions, including the project ratings and various distresses, such as load cracking, block cracking, rutting, etc., in real time. Managers were able and can now perform spatial analyses by aggregating information with linear features into different jurisdiction boundaries with polygon features, such as working districts and congressional districts. The successful implementation of the GIS module in GDOT has greatly enhanced pavement management capability by generating data that had been previously unavailable and by obtaining pavement condition data in seconds instead of days. In this paper, examples are used to demonstrate the actual benefits of implementing the client/server-based GIS module. Also, future research about using GIS in pavement management is discussed.
