Technological advances in computing, communications, and locating systems have been applied to a broad spectrum of the responsibilities shouldered by KDOT, including maintenance activities. However, even though one specific technology, Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL), has been thought to have significant benefit for maintenance operations, investing in the technology has been difficult to justify because the benefits are not easily quantifiable and little hard data exists related to the benefits of applying AVL to highway maintenance. This report describes the technologies associated with AVL, discusses a national survey of transportation agencies conducted as part of this work, and presents an analysis of the costs and benefits of implementing AVL for use in KDOT maintenance vehicles and striper trucks.
