Enterprise GIS Development at West Virginia Department of Transportation Yueming Wu, Ph.D., GISP GIS Manager November 15, 2012
History Historically the West Virginia Department of Transportation (WVDOT) has been utilizing geospatial (GIS, Remote Sensing, & GPS) technology for planning, analysis, and mapping purposes ever since the technology became available. In 2005 the WVDOT GIS Section was created to meet the growing needs for geospatial data and services in transportation. In 2007 the GIS Section was renamed as the GIS Unit and merged with the Highway Data Services (HDS) Unit, a program responsible for processing changes in roadway information, and the update and maintenance of the Roadway Inventory Log, to form the current Geospatial Transportation Information (GTI) Section.

Ongoing Major GIS Projects • Support for ERP(wvOASIS) - Asset Management System • Our Advanced Solution with Integrated Systems • Enterprise GIS Development • ProjectWise Implementation • Transportation GIS Data Collection • GIS Portal • New Straight Line Diagram • New Highway Maps • Web Mapping Applications • 3D GIS
What Is Enterprise GIS? Enterprise GIS is a platform for delivering organization-wide geospatial capabilities while improving access to geographic information and extending geospatial capabilities to nontraditional users of GIS (Esri, 2012).
Why Do We Need An Enterprise GIS? • Small Successes Over the Past • Do Not Guarantee A • Sustainable Growth in the Future • Growing w/ Evolving Geospatial Technology • Seamlessly Integrating w/ Numerous Changing External IT Systems • Scalable to Support Large User Base at WVDOT & Answer Numerous Citizen Requests • Flexible to Handle Various Business Cases • Etc.
WVDOT Enterprise GIS Strategic Plan Development • Enterprise License Agreement (ELA) w/ Esri • Effective October 2009 • Technical Advisor • Project Initiated in October 2009 • Partnership with Esri • Online Survey • Information Assessment • Multiple Versions of Draft • Plan Finalized in March 2011
WVDOT Enterprise GIS Strategic Plan • Effective April 2011 • Phased Approach • Suggestions • Best Practices • Four Phases • Phase I: Build enterprise GIS framework • Phase II: Application implementation & preparation for GIS integration for ERP applications • Phase III: Pilot new tools & applications • Phase IV: Roll out Highway Data Maintenance Solutions & ERP • Five Areas • Business Architecture • Data Architecture • Application Architecture • Technical Architecture • GIS Staffing
Current State (2011) Roll out Roads & Highways Solutions and ERP to Production Application Implementation and Preparation for GIS integration with ERP Applications Build Enterprise GIS Framework Pilot New Tools and Applications Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Phase 4 Target State (Vision)
