Standards and Governance for Enterprise Geospatial Systems in Transportation

Project Information

Project ID:
FHWA-PROJ-18-0006
Project Abstract:

This project assisted Departments of Transportation (DOT), metropolitan planning organization (MPOs), and local government entities create enterprise GIS data management systems that promote data interoperability. This was accomplished by implementing data governance best practices that support collaboration through shared business rules and standards that based on the principle of “measure once, use many times,” with well-defined roles for each participant. The goal is a single roadway dataset that meets the needs of multiple State and local business units. The project developed guidance (the AEGIST Guidebook) that guides the Nations DOT's to a geospatial transportation standard that is more interoperable with the DOT’s various business, planning and engineering needs and USDOT(Federal) requirements.
