HUNTSVILLE, Ala., July 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Louisiana
Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) has selected an
integrated, automated permitting and routing solution from
Intergraph® and Cambridge Systematics, which will improve customer
service and traveler safety on Louisiana's roads. Louisiana DOTD will replace
a legacy, in-house developed oversize/overweight (OS/OW) vehicle
permitting system with Intergraph's OS/OW permitting and routing
solution, which adds new capabilities, including intelligent
routing and real-time restriction management.
Intergraph's solution, which incorporates Cambridge Systematics'
permitting application, provides Louisiana DOTD with a seamless,
web-based application for issuing all OS/OW vehicle permits, along
with a map-centric environment that enables permit office agents
and industry users to automatically route OS/OW loads safely. The
solution includes real-time management of all network restrictions
for bridges, overpasses, ramps, construction zones, holidays and
special events.
"The automated permitting and routing solution will improve
customer service through quicker turn-around time on OS/OW
permits," said Tammy Anderson,
transportation permits manager, Louisiana DOTD. "Most important,
Intergraph's solution will enable DOTD to provide a safe highway
network for the traveling public through intelligent routing and
real-time restriction management."
Louisiana DOTD is responsible for the management and maintenance
of the state's public transportation, roadways and infrastructure,
including approximately 8,000 state-maintained bridges. Managing
these bridges and the restrictions they cause is key to generating
safe and effective routes. The department issues nearly 258,000
OS/OW permits annually – the third most of any state transportation
department.
"Intergraph's automated permitting and routing solution improves
efficiencies, enabling industry users to receive most permits
in less than 10 minutes -- any time, day or night -- without the
involvement of a permit agent," said Steve
Powers, vice president, Intergraph Security, Government
& Infrastructure. "Our easy-to-use, yet powerful application
will help automate processes, creating an intelligent, real-time
solution. We're proud to assist Louisiana DOTD in its efforts to
provide citizens with a safe and reliable transportation
network."
Intergraph connects transportation agencies with
business-critical information, providing solutions for core
business functions for infrastructure, operations and safety. More
than 30 state departments of transportation in the U.S. rely on
Intergraph's highways solutions.
