Overview

The SAM IS Signs module is a cloud-hosted configurable solution that leverages Esri’s ArcGIS Online platform and GIS hosted services. Designed as a Software as a Service (SaaS) program, it is modular-based and cost-effective, so you’re only buying what you need, when you need it.

A SAM IS subscription includes managed data services for your GIS layer (in this case, sign posts and signs). The SAM IS Signs module lets you manage all your sign assets, while also conducting condition assessments to those signs and sign posts. You’ll have access to historical inspection and maintenance records that are maintained throughout the sign inventory. Easy-to-understand dashboards and thematic maps provide management oversight to your overall sign post and sign network. This is often a key component in assessing and planning a local government’s program for upgrading sign retroreflectivity.

SAM IS Signs assists with the communication of existing conditions and future needs via pre-defined reports and graphs, based on VHB’s extensive knowledge of traffic and transportation, as well as municipality requirements. Overall, SAM IS Signs supports the goal of providing a comprehensive life-cycle management tool to provide critical information for maintenance, repair, or replacement from your sign inventory data.
