Route Dominance Manager
➥Provides the ability to accommodate route dominance exceptions and store dominance designations
➥Sets and stores route dominance on route groups
o Addresses issues where concurrent route rules are not followed due to business rules exceptions
o Addresses need of determining route dominance on local roads where route names/ids are not definable by attribute-based rules
o Allows for route dominance storage in the database and to find the route priority using only database queries (not Esri tools)
Route Dominance Manager
Validation Assistant
➥Provides a single interface for simple or complex business data validations in the web environment
o Validation construction and execution Develop data validation queries
o Segment Analyzer Complex queries and output of problem areas
o RCE Tool – Validation Widget Displays validation query output from Validation Assistant in RCE
Provides an interface to mark the edits as corrected or exceptions
Validation Assistant
HPMS Assistant
➥Provided because R&H does not provide HPMS validations or comprehensive data integration needs
➥New tool that will combine and extend the capabilities of existing tools Segment AnalyzerTM
Validation AssistantTM
➥Will provide an interface to map the required Full Extent and Sample Section fields to fields in your database
➥Will provide annual updates to the templates to provide the latest validations and .csv file formatting

Transcend Project Locations
Virginia DOT Urban Conversion Project
• Street Address Data Cleansing • Network Conflation • Data Conversion
➥Primarily R&H Implementation
➥CDOT personnel completed the official migration of the data using scripts developed by Transcend.
➥Focused on the development of “tools” to assist with the maintenance, quality, and reporting of the data.
➥Leverage an external system to maintain local road data on an annual basis for their Highway Use Tax Fund
WebHUT
Export out of R&H to WebHUT late in the year.
Locals make edits to data during Winter.
Import updates from WebHUT back to R&H in Spring.
Colorado DOT GIS Roadway Information Data Management System (GRDMS)
CDOT WebHUT Process
CDOT WebHUT User Interface
➥R&H Implementation and replacement of all related systems
➥Challenge for ODOT is the drastic changes in the technology environment Intergraph GeoMedia > Esri ArcGIS and R&H for LRS
dBase > R&H RCE for road inventory
Pre-segmented publication environment > R&H data structures
➥ Integration of Location Based Referencing System Local road data updates from counties, townships and
municipalities
Conflation-like tools facilitate the update of centerline and attribute data
Ohio DOT Road Information Management System (RIMS)
Ohio DOT LBRS Process
➥ State-sponsored program to collect centerlines, address ranges, and select road inventory data on a county-by-county basis.
➥ Centerline data is more accurate (GPS-driven geometrics) than existing digitized ODOT data.
➥ RIMS Project integrates the centerline and select road inventory items as routes and events.
➥Maintenance process will allow for data integration to be on-going as updated data is available.
