maintenance management strategy. For example, mapping and
analysis capabilities of GIS can be combined with pavement and
bridge management models to produce comprehensive maintenance
management solutions. GIS software for field use enables
inspectors and field-based maintenance personnel to record

Disaster Preparedness
GIS is an essential technology for all phases of emergency
management: preparation, mitigation, response, and recovery. Find
out how GIS provides a foundation for comprehensive emergency
management [PDF].
To prepare for and mitigate emergencies, GIS can map and model
potential disasters to help visualize critical vulnerabilities and
damage consequences. As rebuilding begins, GIS aids local, state,
and federal agencies with technology that supports collaboration
between multiple agencies.
Field data captured with mobile GIS provides the ability to add
updates from remote locations for more efficient incident
management. It also supplies rapid damage assessment and more
accurate recovery operations.

GIS as strategic management tool
- 1. GIS as strategic management tool Geographic Information System (GIS) can be used as a strategic management tool for the infrastructure development cycle from planning, environment assessment, survey, design, construction, safety and security, operations, disaster preparedness, maintenance and public information & dissemination. It can also be used in facilities management to include infra-related equipment pools, information technology resources and regional/district office buildings. It can also help in financial administration for monitoring expenditures in the central office, project management offices, regional offices and district engineering offices. Planning GIS technology can provide rich analytic and visual tools to find the right balance between the need to accommodate demand on public infrastructure and the responsibility to preserve quality of life and environmental sustainability of infrastructure projects. GIS can provide a framework to inform models, such as those used to forecast travel demand and plan capital improvements, and to support strategic decision making. In addition, GIS applications for making environmental evaluations can shed light on the consequences of various transportation alternatives.

- 2. Survey As a surveyor, you depend on a variety of software and technology in your daily workflows. GIS technology integrates with other systems while providing new functionality and a central database. A GIS database gives you a better way to easily manage, reuse, share, and analyze your survey data, saving you time, money, and resources. Because GIS software solutions are interoperable with the many data formats used in the field and office, you can deliver your data in the format required by your clients while maintaining the data’s core integrity. GIS software adds intelligence to spatial data, whether the data is generated in the field with GPS or remotely with lidar and photogrammetry. You can enter raw data, measurements, and field sketches directly into the GIS, enabling you to efficiently manage your data in a geodatabase with other spatial information. You can use GIS technology for collecting, importing, converting, and storing spatial measurement and computational fabrics. You can integrate computations, such as COGO and traverse least squares, and preexisting networks as well as import spatial data feature classes and relationships. With GIS software, you can bring data straight from the field into a geodatabase in a seamless workflow and take GIS data back into the field via a data collector or laptop computer. GIS software is customized to best meet your needs by optimizing functionality needed to complete a job.

With Esri GIS software you can o Manage multiple types of geographic data. o Assess relationships such as runoff and groundwater purity. o Measure change such as wildlife habitat encroachment. o Model events such as drought impact on forest health. o Improve workflow processes, from data gathering and analysis to publication and distribution of findings. Implementing Office – Environmental and Social Services Office (ESSO) Design The design engineers who are using the computer-aided design (CAD) tools to accomplish design tasks can take the advantage of GIS capability to incorporate the GIS-based information in the design process. With tools available in Esri core software, the design engineers can also import CAD documents into the GIS to perform robust cost estimate calculations and update other spatial information. GIS support for surface and hydraulic models and soil and geotechnical analyses gives you a rich set of capabilities for designing context-sensitive projects.

- 4. Safety and Security Governments worldwide emphasize the importance of highway design and other methods that increase roadway safety. Engineers are using the power of GIS to perform safety analyses and identify root causes of dangerous highway segments. GIS makes it possible to take human factors into consideration as well as design elements. At the same time, demand has increased for transportation security in transportation operations at airports, ports, and transportation depots. GIS provides an integrating technology for incident response systems and infrastructure security systems. Implementing Offices - Bureau of Research and Standards (Central Office) - Research and Standards Division (Central Offices) - Special Buildings Construction GIS helps in the effective and efficient project delivery for new infrastructure projects especially multi-year projects that require careful monitoring, coordination, and management. GIS uses location as the cornerstone of data management for organizing project delivery information. GIS can be used to support initial planning and environmental studies; organize map, survey, and design documents; and share information with personnel in the office or the field. The open software platform of Esri GIS allows integration with project management software such as Primavera and MS Project. Integration makes it possible to provide a comprehensive view of projects and their current status, which gives project managers valuable support for achieving effective project delivery.

One approach is to use traffic management strategies that help traffic engineers respond to changing conditions in ways that ensure optimal system performance. GIS can take a central role in developing effective traffic management strategies. The capabilities to integrate data feeds and share dashboard views make GIS ideal for viewing a comprehensive picture of current traffic conditions. For example, traffic managers can visually monitor bottlenecks and related information to quickly respond to vehicle incidents. In addition, these views can be shared with the public, giving drivers the latest information on road closures and current travel conditions.
