Michigan Roadsoft: Integration of State and Local Safety Data

This case study presents the Michigan Roadsoft system for local roadway data and analysis. With funding provided by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), Michigan Technological University’s Center for Technology and Training (CTT) developed Roadsoft to integrate the local road system into the State database by assigning a consistent linear referencing system to the local roads. The program provides roadway asset management, field data collection, maintenance management, and safety analysis tools to local agencies. Each local agency maintains its own data in a local copy of Roadsoft and shares that information with the State upon request.
