THE NEW HAMPSHIRE GRAPHIC ROADWAY INVENTORY SYSTEM
The New Hampshire Department of Transportation has multiple responsibilities to the state, including managing a large amount of data that describes the state's transportation network. The DOT has traditionally recorded a portion of this data on a graphic straight line diagram for quicker, easier reference to its location on the roadway. This has been done laboriously in the past by creating thousands of diagrams by hand. This paper describes the development of the first of several GIS applications on the DOT's CAD/D system. This GIS application automates the straight line diagram creation process, using a link between the straight line diagram and the state's Roadway Inventory System to place current inventory data on the diagram. The CAD/D success with the straight line diagrams has not only solved a critical production problem for the state, but also sets the stage for continued development of a New Hampshire Graphic Roadway Inventory System.
