| Summary | The "Highway Inventory Management System" is integrated with geographic information systems, GPS and video logging technologies to perform infrastructure information and road image collection. This system makes it convenient to access and provide maintenance, to promote research results to the highway maintenance unit, and to assist their efforts in the investigation of the highway facilities. The results of this research project include the provincial and county roads of Southern Taiwan, Taipei County and Taoyuan County, for a total of more than 7,200 lane-km of road image records. The road image information, produced by Yilan County, Nantou County Government, is also integrated into the management system. In addition, continuously building relevant equipment to reduce the cost of field investigation, data processing operations within the industry, expansion of management system processes and services, are also the major achievements of the research results. This year, using a driving recorder instead of a digital video recorder, not only reduces system implementation costs, but also increases image resolution to Blue-ray quality. More importantly, the system is set up more easily and is more feasible for the promotion of the system. The majority of jobs, in addition to the existing data processing functions, need less processing steps, and increase the support of the H.264 video format. With the treated information able to be viewed directly in Google Earth, the effectiveness of survey data usage was increased. The current "Highway Inventory Management System" with the road image browsing ability, query and maintenance of facilities, information management, statistical reports and other services output, and increased road lighting management, roadside trees data management, road mileage stake coordinate inquiries and other functions, provides more complete and convenient highway facilities management effectiveness. In brief, the Highway Inventory Management System can inform highway management departments of the latest and the previous data or images simultaneously to make their maintenance work easier and more efficient. |
