Thanks to a new software system, the S.C. Department of Transportation now can access and query transportation data in real-time for proposed routes, road design data, traffic signals inventory, intersection, and other transportation agency requirements.

Intergraph Corp.'s Integrated Transportation Management System allows users access to the information they need from one interface, including map-based query results, photolog images and tabular reports drawn from data stored in multiple data platforms including Oracle and SQLServer. ITMS ensures consistency in the look and feel of maps used by SCDOT, while an interactive Web-based legend permits customized display if desired. Information can be joined real-time across other transportation management systems and applications to ensure answers are available when needed.

"ITMS provides easy access to the data our employees need to do their jobs. Transportation data is always current and available through a very user-friendly interface regardless of the system in which they are stored," said Doug Harper, SCDOT chief information officer. "The combination of real-time access and the ability to run queries across multiple enterprise systems is as good as it gets.”

Security organizations, businesses and governments in more than 60 countries use the company's spatial technology and services.
