Digital Video–GIS Referenced System for Spatial Data Collection and Condition Assessment to Enhance Transportation Asset Management

This paper presents an integrated digital video-GIS referenced system for spatial data collection and evaluation. The system, called YonaPMS.Video, uses a new approach that combines high resolution digital video with powerful Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to generate accurate data flows for transportation asset inventory, for condition assessment, and for comparing historical video databases essential in modern Transportation Asset Management (TAM) systems. YonaPMS.Video uses a linear referenced GIS model that assigns the road kilometer reference to each video frame in addition to the commonly reported X, Y, Z coordinates. This feature enables the performance of multi-camera virtual trips at the office to produce efficient and accurate hardware spatial surveys of pavements, guardrails, posts, signs, culverts, ditches, bridges, etc., suited to the managerial needs of transportation agencies responsible for the maintenance and operation of streets, roads, airports, and railways. In addition, YonaPMS.Video enhances the Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) of the collected data as both the geographic position and the element attributes are recorded simultaneously. With YonaPMS.Video it is easy to generate GIS layers directly from the video display which are compatible with most available GIS platforms used in the industry. YonaPMS.Video provides users with an automatic form generator that enables them to create their own inventory or condition surveying forms suited to their preferences and needs. YonaPMS.Video incorporates a 3-D measuring and positioning tool to make horizontal and vertical measurements and positioning of infrastructure elements directly on the video display. With this 3-D tool it is possible to measure the width of road lanes, the height of guardrails and signs, and the area of a patch, and map the coordinates, the road-station kilometer and the attributes of the surveyed hardware elements. YonaPMS.Video has been used in Israel and overseas in numerous projects dealing with pavement maintenance management, concession bidding and operation, and asset inventory and management for national, municipal and privately operated road and airport networks.
