KLS improves client's assest management practices by using a system that relates assets through maps
and intelligent location processing. KLS staff integrates GIS with geographic
asset management systems that allow agencies to manage, visualize, analyze, and communicate
information about infrastructure assets such as traffic signs, sidewalks, roads, bridges, etc.
Also, linking GIS to a pavement management system provides an efficient means to query data and
display trends and patterns to track pavement condition and allocate funds effectively.
KLS integrates diverse data (e.g. existing conditions, accident histories, economic needs,
hazardous materials shipment and vehicle volumes) with accurate locations. Infrastructure
asset data (asset type, dimensions, exact location) also can be collected. Once integrated, this
data can be modified and presented both in raw and processed format, according to user needs.
KLS is also an adviser to the TRB Committee on Geo-Spatial Data. Sample Projects include:
-
Developing an Asset Management Framework for Interstate Highway Safety, NCHRP Project.
-
ADA Asset Management.
-
School Safety Asset Management, DDOT.
-
Street Lighting Inventory, DDOT.
-
Georgetown Traffic Control Device Inventory, DDOT.
