Overview

The SAM IS Sidewalk 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, sidewalk data, ramp data, and curb data). The SAM IS Sidewalk module lets you manage the assets, while also conducting sidewalk, ramp, and curb condition assessments, as well as scheduling repairs to those sidewalk segments. You’ll have access to historical inspection and maintenance records that are maintained throughout the sidewalk, ramp, and curb asset inventory. Easy-to-understand dashboards and thematic maps provide management oversight to your overall sidewalk, ramp, and curb network. This greatly aids in understanding what it takes to meet ADA requirements.

SAM IS Sidewalk assists with the communication of existing conditions and future needs via pre-defined reports and graphs, based on VHB’s extensive knowledge of sidewalk, ramps, curbs, and the overall hardscape space, as well as municipality requirements. SAM IS Sidewalk supports the goal of providing a comprehensive life-cycle management tool to provide critical information for maintenance, repair, or replacement from your sidewalk, ramp, and curb inventories.
