LOGICAL MODEL Provide structure for enterprise-wide right-of-way system, through Conceptual & Logical Modeling Capture activities, functions, processes, and data of the business of transportation right-of-way offices Include hooks to larger transportation agency enterprise Incorporate geospatial functionality
OVERALL RIGHT-OF-WAY BUSINESS PROCESS FLOW
Enterprise Work Environment
GEOSPATIAL OVERVIEW Provide framework for integration of geospatial capabilities with right-of-way business processes Structure the flow of data for tracking parcel status: Parcel Tracking (PT) Identify business processes where decision making could be enhanced using geospatial tools and analyses: Geospatial Enablement (GE)
PARCEL TRACKING (PT) Monitor detailed status of parcel Track changes to parcels Capture Milestones: Progress markers or project checkpoints Flags: State of completion of activities or processes and activity/project progression Values: Visualization and evaluation of parcels
GEOSPATIAL ENABLEMENT (GE)
SUMMARY Template to support development of an integrated and interoperable enterprise-wide right-of-way information management system Flexible blueprint to allow for unique need of the each agency Enable incorporation of right-of-way information management using any or all components of the framework Support integration with other systems prior to investing funds
BENEFITS TO YOUR AGENCY Improve on-time delivery of project real property Expedite project award Reduce staffing and/or improve staff efficiency Improve access to information Improve customer service and public relations Increase management flexibility Improve oversight capabilities Improve integration, use, and sharing of information
BENEFITS TO THE RIGHT-OF-WAY OFFICE Improve scheduling Improve documentation and reporting uniformity Reduce time to perform tasks Reduce redundancy Reduce staffing and/or improved staff efficiency Improve access to information Improve customer service and public relations Increase management flexibility Improve oversight capabilities Improve integration, use, and sharing of information
DOCUMENTED SAVINGS Return on investment 21% return from reduced annual operating costs while providing greater convenience to users (Pennsylvania) Through interoperability with financial system, payment processing reduced from several days to minutes. (Pennsylvania) Oversight and management of real estate activities A single person manages a multi-million dollar airport project through desktop access to near real-time project information (Illinois)
DOCUMENTED SAVINGS Staffing reductions and improved on-time performance Access to all information on ROW projects by over 500 staff and contractors, providing exceptional customer service. Information entered once, eliminating duplication of effort. (Virginia) Reduction of research staff by half. Parcel information available on-line eliminating in-person courthouse research and travel. (Maryland) Reduction in time from several hours to several minutes by providing GISbased summaries of excess property for sale to the public. Questions from the public reduced. (New Mexico) Elimination of manually locating and reviewing large drawing sets. Staff click on desired section of road using GIS to access project drawings. (San Antonio District, Texas)
POTENTIAL PROBLEMS WITHOUT A SYSTEM Missed milestones when critical dates not tracked Inaccessibility of right-of-way data for management analysis Difficulty searching and updating information Inconsistent formats Laborious completion of correspondence and internal documentation Duplication of effort
POTENTIAL RISKS WITHOUT A SYSTEM Inability to strategically adjust resources to meet on-time performance measures Unmet expectations Poor performance on agency audits
BENEFITS TO ADDING GIS Improved tracking and scheduling of right-of-way projects Improved communication Enhanced resource allocation and decision making New options for analyzing activities Greater knowledge about parcel location and enhanced understanding of spatial context
