The agency took the lead in 2012 when a change in executive management and a federal law called Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> Century (MAP-21) placed an emphasis on performance and outcome.\r\n\r\nThe law required states to show the impact of their investments in infrastructure condition, safety, and system reliability (including metrics on congestion and travel time). Iowa DOT looked at the guidance and retooled, setting out to instill a measurement-oriented culture.\r\n\r\nA first step was the creation of the Strategic Performance Division that pulled experts together from different divisions.\r\n\r\n\u201cA hierarchical structure makes it hard to drive change because it\u2019s built for sustainability, consistency of product, and risk mitigation,\u201d Selmer said. \u201cWe work on cross-departmental projects such as asset management, data governance, business analytics, and project management.\u201d\r\n\r\n<strong>Location Integration<\/strong>\r\n\r\nDOTs use location, and the distances along the network of roads, rail, and runways, to guide most performance measures. The Iowa DOT was in good shape as it had already integrated its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/location-intelligence\">location intelligence platform<\/a>, the geographic information system (GIS), with other enterprise systems. The integration ensures that data is maintained centrally in a GIS hub and shared with other systems as location-as-a-service.\r\n\r\n\u201cCreating the central GIS hub extended our reach into all other major business systems,\u201d said Eric Abrams, GIS manager at Iowa DOT. \u201cIt allowed us to evolve.\u201d\r\n\r\nThe Strategic Performance Division used the GIS hub to tap into data from the other business systems. This gave them the means to begin quantifying DOT performance as a whole, as divisions, and across the different field districts.\r\n\r\n\u201cA lot of people within business units look at data as the dessert or the salad,\u201d Selmer said. \u201cI look at data as the plate. Data is foundational, and it becomes exponentially more valuable when you combine it with other data.\u201d\r\n\r\nIowa DOT now embraces <a href=\"http:\/\/public-iowadot.opendata.arcgis.com\/\">open data<\/a>, assuming that all data should be open unless proven otherwise. This philosophy makes the department nimble, able to combine key information within purpose-driven applications to address business challenges."},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":29922,"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<strong>Sensing Conditions<\/strong>\r\n\r\nIowa DOT\u2019s Office of Maintenance took advantage of its access to data by creating a simple dashboard to measure the amount of salt applied to icy roads each winter.\r\n\r\nThe salt measurement dashboard app showed DOT maintenance supervisors and other managers the quantity and cost of salt compared to prior years. Iowa DOT credits this simple comparison dashboard with saving the department $2.7 million a year within its first few years\r\n\r\nAlso tapping into the open data, the Strategic Performance Division used data from sensors aboard snowplows and along the road network to create a live map of winter driving conditions.

Ultimately the public plays a larger role in road safety and the real-time understanding of conditions helps individuals and businesses make better driving choices.\u201d"},{"acf_fc_layout":"sidebar","layout":"standard","image_reference":null,"image_reference_figure":"","spotlight_image":null,"section_title":"","spotlight_name":"","position":"Right","content":"<strong>Sensor Integration<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe Iowa Track-A-Plow website integrates data from a variety of sensors that include:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Automatic vehicle location system technology with GPS receivers for every plow to record vehicle location and speed<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Sensors that detect the operation of the truck\u2019s salt spreader, plow position, and engine status<\/li>\r\n \t<li>More than 430 cameras mounted to truck windshields to provide photos of the road every 10 minutes<\/li>\r\n \t<li>A network of more than 700 CCTV cameras along state, U.S. routes, and interstate highways<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Infrared temperature sensors on each plow that record the surface temperature of the road<\/li>\r\n \t<li>A network of 75 weather stations at key locations on the road network that track the pavement temperatures at different depths as well as the temperature of bridge decks<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Third-party data that provides traffic flow information<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Incident and human reported road condition data from the state\u2019s 511 system<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Notices from the network of 300 digital message signs<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n\u201cWe pull the data together from all the sensors and then serve it out as services,\u201d Abrams said. \u201cOne of our goals is to bring together the data in a big data store to start mashing it up and analyzing it to better understand and predict road conditions.\u201d","snippet":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"With the data from Track-a-Plow, Iowa DOT created a dashboard view of additional metrics related to cost and performance.

The information is posted on an interactive map for DOT management and the public, putting the details from each storm and each year\u2019s operations alongside historical records for perspective.\r\n\r\n\u201cGiving the public an understanding of the cost of a storm allows us to have more meaningful discussions,\u201d Selmer said. \u201cWe can create a better dialogue about levels of service and what it takes to keep the roads clear.\u201d\r\n\r\n<strong>Tracking Pavement Performance<\/strong>\r\n\r\nA great deal of work goes into building quality pavement. Smoothness, density, and physical appearance all factor into roadway safety, maintenance, and longevity. Iowa DOT continues to push the use of GIS into the field, recently adding an application to allow construction field inspectors to enter <a href=\"http:\/\/www.traffictechnologytoday.com\/news.php?NewsID=88930\">pavement inspection data<\/a> on tablets rather than fill out paper forms.\r\n\r\nIowa DOT equips 157 full-time inspectors and 150 maintenance employees with tablets to view and collect data. They use one simple application to report inspections, reducing time spent from 30 minutes to just five minutes.\r\n\r\nA digital workflow saves Iowa DOT hundreds of hours every year and makes it possible to immediately share data from across the state. Managers can view data from each pavement project. If a problem arises with a certain type of material, they can pinpoint where that material has been used. This added awareness increases the awareness of field crews and provides a new level of pavement asset management."},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":29982,"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<strong>Staying Competitive<\/strong>\r\n\r\nAfter taking steps to gain better insight into its own operations, Iowa DOT looked at the role transportation plays in a strong economy. The department hired a supply chain consultant to conduct research about the shipment of goods in and out of the state.\r\n\r\nThe analysis led to a few surprises. It showed a great deal of grain traveling north to bakeries in Minnesota rather than out of the country. Analysis also led to a reconsideration of fleet efficiency as the Iowa DOT learned that, on average, only 60 percent of the available truck capacity is utilized.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe analysis is starting to inform us about how our system is being utilized,\u201d Selmer said. \u201cWe\u2019re looking at where we might place cross-docking and transloading sites so that truckers can combine loads and add capacity. That would make it much more cost-efficient for the shipper and we\u2019d have less trucks on the road.\u201d\r\n\r\nAgriculture accounts for roughly 90 percent of Iowa\u2019s land use, and the biggest agricultural competition comes from Brazil. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Brazil had record crops of both corn and soybeans in 2017. However, Brazil\u2019s infrastructure still lags behind other countries.\r\n\r\n\u201cBrazil can produce crops cheaper than us and they can harvest two crops every year,\u201d Selmer said. \u201cBut, our lower transportation costs provide a competitive advantage.\u201d\r\n\r\nIn another effort, Iowa created a testing zone for self-driving fleet vehicles on a 20-mile stretch of Interstate 380 between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City. The state is using the exercise to gain a greater understanding of the data harvesting implications from the large amount of data these vehicles generate. Iowa is also exploring the insights that can be gained through analytics.\r\n\r\n\u201cOur initial guiding principle was really to get out of the mud and build infrastructure,\u201d Selmer said. \u201cNow, we're looking at ourselves more as a mobility service provider, starting with a close look at how we operate on a 24\/7 basis.\u201d\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWant to learn more about monitoring, managing, and planning complex transportation systems using GIS? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/landing-page\/industry\/transportation\/2018\/project-planning-paper?adumkts=industry_solutions&amp;aduse=transportation&amp;aduc=pr&amp;adum=blogs&amp;utm_Source=pr&amp;aduca=smart_highways&amp;aduco=WhereNext&amp;adut=IowaDOT&amp;adulb=multiple&amp;adusn=multiple&amp;adupt=lead_gen&amp;sf_id=70139000001IgVFAA0\">Download the paper Data-Driven Decisions with Location Intelligence<\/a> and explore how your DOT can leverage solutions for smarter project planning.
