Roadway Sign Inventory & Management System
Designed to meet the needs of county road and city street departments, this program provides a procedure for collecting and recording initial sign inventories and severs as a vehicle for maintaining the inventory and managing the system. The program was updated in February, 2008 with special attention to the need for more detailed sign retroreflectivity assessments. The program provides for both observed and electronically sign reflectivity assessments.
Rural Roadway Inventory & Management System
This program, sometimes referred to as a Pavement Management Program, includes three modules one for asphalt pavement, another for concrete pavement and a third for gravel roadways. In addition to roadway geometric data and pavement distress assessments, version 3.0 includes an added feature that calculates estimated per mile values based on criteria provided by users.
Sign Information Management System (SIMS)
Enables users to identify unsafe traffic signs, whether due to deficient signs, supports, or obstructions. After recording data into SIMS software, they apply, find, query, and report analytical tools to correct deficiencies and document actions. Based on proven public works management principles, the management system is easy to understand and its software easy to use.
