This study formally analyzes the requirements and evaluates the business case for an enterprise system at Florida DOT. It includes a literature review pertinent to the concept of Enterprise GIS, an evaluation of past efforts in terms of a certain parameter, and uses information from past efforts to create and update missing products. The study also evaluates four enterprise GIS implementation options and determines that distributed data storage with enterprise standards is the best option.

This research project, completed by the NCHRP, was developed to identify how state transportation agencies can use geographic information management systems to assist with acquisition of property and relocation of those affected.The project developed a logical model for a ROW land management system and identified ways in which the current and ideal systems could be linked.Multiple documents can be found on this project page, including the logical model and guide for implementation, final project report, appendices, and executive summaries.

http://pubsindex.trb.org/view.aspx?id=801705
This paper presents several examples of different types of information systems currently in use by state agencies and how these systems have impacted their activities. It also begins to address the issues associated with moving into an enterprise information structure.It notes the challenges associated with ROW activities, including the delay of transportation projects and the resulting increased costs, and comes to the conclusion that automation of ROW functions and development of information management systems, particularly when integrated with geospatial technologies, can substantially improve performance and resource management within ROW agencies.

Harvey, F. 2005. Enhanced Coordination of Cadastral Information, Proceedings of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, Geographic Information Systems – Transportation, 20th Annual Meeting, Nashville, Tennessee.
Any Minnesota DOT (MnDOT) project that impacts property owners requires the coordination of cadastral (land ownership) and highway ROW information.MnDOT has already taken a step towards improving coordination between MnDOT offices and other government agencies with the State Parcel Map Inventory, a resource with information about the status and accuracy of cadastral information in 87 Minnesota counties.Government agencies have seen the potential in the State Parcel Map Inventory to better optimize data development and exchange through the use of GIS technologies.The finding of this project suggest that the State Parcel Map Inventory is a starting point for helping coordination, but more targeted efforts are called for.

This report, based on the case study of eight SDOTs, documents the extent GIS technology is used in the various ROW functional areas, and the pros and cons associated with such endeavors.A combination of literature review, survey and interview on GIS application in ROW revealed that, although the use of GIS technology is still very much localized and in its infancy, the SDOTs are aware of the opportunities GIS presents in streamlining the implementation processes of ROW programs.Currently, GIS application in ROW largely involves mapping and inventory activities.A frequently cited hindrance to large-scale GIS application in the SDOTs is the lack of time and personnel resources.The general consensus is that adequate allocation of resources is necessary in order to mainstream the use of GIS in the implementation of ROW programs at the SDOTs.Best Practice Methods of GIS implementation is documented for the ROW functional areas most likely targeted for GIS application.

http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/circulars/ec108.pdf
This report documents the results of a peer exchange to investigate state and local agency applications of spatial technologies for asset management, conducted by the TRB, Transportation Asset Management Committee, and Spatial Data and Information Science Committee. Included are the perspectives of each agency and a summary of their responses.Overall, it was determined that there were three major issue areas in moving spatial technology applications to the next level: managing change, data integration, and communication.Upon a thorough discussion of these issues, the peer participants identified research to address three areas of interest: temporal issues, symbology, and data and visualization models.
