Spatial Data Governance for Business Users

Webinar Recording

Event Summary

FHWA has launched the Applications of Enterprise GIS in Transportation (AEGIST) pooled fund study (PFS) in collaboration with 16+ States in the U.S. to advance spatial and linear referencing data management practices, tools and systems by deploying standards and best practices. The project involves 16+ states, and features a series of webinars, workshops, peer exchange meetings and consulting services over 2019-2024.

This webinar describes spatial data governance and management practices that span across multiple business units and users, in addition to the GIS and LRS units. Spatial data governance involves creating, managing and sharing the data models associated with roads, assets, projects, traffic, safety, mobility etc., using enterprise data systems, including but not limited to Asset Management system, Traffic and Safety Systems, Project Planning and Programming Systems, Design and Construction systems, GIS and Linear Referencing System (LRS).

The presenters gave examples of how they model data from the perspective of multiple business users and stakeholders, and, how data is shared across enterprise systems, to support business use cases including but not limited to the following:

• Provisioning existing assets data in GIS, LRS and Lidar systems for use in Design & Construction
• Delivering as-built assets and post-construction inspection data to Asset Management
• Exchanging road network & roadway characteristics, projects and asset data in Project Management, LRS & Asset systems for project planning, programming, asset life cycle analysis, operations & maintenance, emergency response, risk & resiliency analysis
