| dc.description.abstract | Many municipalities have operational Pavement Management Systems (PMS) in one form or another. These municipalities desire the ability to access, manipulate, analyze, display, and report graphical information about their roadway networks. While most operational PMS packages display information in a tabular format, a Geographical Information System (GIS) displays information graphically. Therefore, linking a PMS attribute database to a GIS spatial database can improve and enhance its functionality. To achieve a link between a PMS attribute database and a GIS spatial database requires that the databases share a common unique identifier. This paper summarizes the efforts to identify a common unique identifier and to automatically link a PMS attribute database and a GIS spatial database. A four stage computer linking program, which was developed under this research, is described in this paper. The automated linking process will allow municipalities with established PMS to save time and money when developing an inhouse GIS link to their PMS. | en |
