Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development Selects Intergraph® Automated Permitting and Routing Solution

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., July 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) has selected an integrated, automated permitting and routing solution from Intergraph® and Cambridge Systematics, which will improve customer service and traveler safety on Louisiana's roads. Louisiana DOTD will replace a legacy, in-house developed oversize/overweight (OS/OW) vehicle permitting system with Intergraph's OS/OW permitting and routing solution, which adds new capabilities, including intelligent routing and real-time restriction management.

Intergraph's solution, which incorporates Cambridge Systematics' permitting application, provides Louisiana DOTD with a seamless, web-based application for issuing all OS/OW vehicle permits, along with a map-centric environment that enables permit office agents and industry users to automatically route OS/OW loads safely. The solution includes real-time management of all network restrictions for bridges, overpasses, ramps, construction zones, holidays and special events.

"The automated permitting and routing solution will improve customer service through quicker turn-around time on OS/OW permits," said Tammy Anderson, transportation permits manager, Louisiana DOTD. "Most important, Intergraph's solution will enable DOTD to provide a safe highway network for the traveling public through intelligent routing and real-time restriction management."

Louisiana DOTD is responsible for the management and maintenance of the state's public transportation, roadways and infrastructure, including approximately 8,000 state-maintained bridges. Managing these bridges and the restrictions they cause is key to generating safe and effective routes. The department issues nearly 258,000 OS/OW permits annually – the third most of any state transportation department.

"Intergraph's automated permitting and routing solution improves efficiencies, enabling  industry users to receive most permits in less than 10 minutes -- any time, day or night -- without the involvement of a permit agent," said Steve Powers, vice president, Intergraph Security, Government & Infrastructure. "Our easy-to-use, yet powerful application will help automate processes, creating an intelligent, real-time solution. We're proud to assist Louisiana DOTD in its efforts to provide citizens with a safe and reliable transportation network."

Intergraph connects transportation agencies with business-critical information, providing solutions for core business functions for infrastructure, operations and safety. More than 30 state departments of transportation in the U.S. rely on Intergraph's highways solutions.
