Intergraph Mapping and GIS Solutions "Brings It Together" for Transportation Professionals at GIS-T 2002

Transportation agencies preview new Intergraph products and solutions at annual symposium

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., March 22, 2002 - At the GIS for Transportation Symposium (GIS-T), March 25-27 in Atlanta, Intergraph Mapping and GIS Solutions is demonstrating its industry-proven GeoMedia(R) technology and IntelliWhere(TM) products. Among the noteworthy products and solutions in Intergraph's booth (14-19) are their transportation industry products for enterprise linear referencing systems (LRS) management and analysis of spatial data, soon-to-be-announced GeoMedia 5.0 products, and IntelliWhere OnDemand product, a new vector-based mapping software for personal digital assistants (PDAs).

Intergraph Mapping and GIS Solutions is an established leader in the transportation market segment, estimated at $53 million (software, services, and hardware) based on the 2001 Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Markets and Opportunities report published by Daratech Inc. (Cambridge, Mass.). Intergraph addresses the enterprisewide mapping and GIS needs of more than 30 state departments of transportation and many state, provincial, federal, and municipal agencies worldwide.

"Streamlining asset management costs and efficiently sharing mission-critical data are a priority for transportation agencies in managing day-to-day operations," said David Kingsbury, director of Intergraph's Transportation Solution Center for North America. "We continue to serve customers' enterprise needs with comprehensive geospatial solutions ranging from project planning to project implementation and a breadth of products that work seamlessly from the desktop to the field. And Intergraph's solutions are built using open industry standards for easy data sharing, regardless of format, to preserve our transportation customer's valuable geospatial and business data investments."

GeoMedia and IntelliWhere provide robust transportation solutions Intergraph's solutions and core products complement their commitment to provide superior, end-to-end geospatial solutions for transportation customers. Attendees can experience the company's latest transportation-focused solutions by seeing these key demonstrations:

- GeoMedia Transportation industry products - Specially designed industry products enable users to retrieve business and project data from most GIS databases or CAD files within an enterprise. And when used with GeoMedia Professional, users can correct network errors and create a high-quality linear dataset. Robust dynamic segmentation capabilities let users visualize the organization's inventory of assets more clearly by analyzing tabular data referenced to linear features on a map. Creating map features such as pavement conditions, accident data, and average daily traffic, helps provide business-critical data for accurate decision-making. Cleaning up route data from external sources such as county roads to maintain high network standards is one example of how GeoMedia Transportation industry products support user productivity and accuracy.

- GeoMedia Web-based products - Using GeoMedia's innovative Web-based products, DOTs can make geospatial data available across the enterprise using a Web browser or a hardware-independent java client. Developing custom queries is easy. And the ability to conduct dynamic segmentation and linear analysis techniques, and deploy CAD data from GIS formats quickly and seamlessly over the Web helps make employees more productive and efficient, anytime, anywhere.

- GeoMedia 5.0 technology preview - GIS-T attendees will get a sneak preview of the soon-to-be-announced GeoMedia 5.0 products featuring new data capture tools, spatial aggregation tools, and map presentation tools for improved productivity in data capture, analysis, map presentation, and plotting. Transportation professionals will also appreciate the easy-to-use customization tools that are a hallmark of GeoMedia technology.

- IntelliWhere OnDemand - IntelliWhere OnDemand is perfect for field inspection crews checking assets such as signs and bridges. It supports multiple data formats and open industry standards for easy data capture on PDA devices and updates from the field. Working in an occasionally connected mode, field personnel can extract data from the GIS, view it, work in disconnected mode, and then synchronize updates back to the corporate enterprise system using a cradle or wireless connection.

Partners demonstrate flexible GeoMedia-based solutions 3m, Hansen, and PricewaterhouseCoopers will be on board at the Intergraph booth to demonstrate how they implement GeoMedia technology for innovative transportation solutions.

- 3M is demonstrating its Transportation Asset Management System (TAMS), a comprehensive transportation safety asset management system that inventories and manages the maintenance and replacement of traffic signs, pavement markings, and other transportation infrastructure components throughout their life cycles. Because GeoMedia WebMap supports various GIS data formats, it allows TAMS to integrate disparate GIS data sources without translation.

- Hansen will show its Hansen Roadway Inventory Model that maintains all roadway inventory data such as pavement information, traffic counts, street level furniture, and roughness. A direct integration to GeoMedia allows roadway inventory users to access GeoMedia directly using dynamic segmentation to locate inventory in a GIS road network and then analyze the data with GeoMedia's capabilities such as thematics, spatial analysis, map presentation, and more.

- PwC Consulting, a business of PricewaterhouseCoopers, is demonstrating a prototype at the Intergraph booth. The product is the front-end of TRANSIMS-DOT, PwC Consulting's commercial version of The Transportation Analysis Simulation System (TRANSIMS) developed by the Los Alamos National Laboratory and sponsored by the United States Department of Transportation. TRANSIMS-DOT provides next-generation transportation simulation capability to state and local transportation planners. PwC Consulting will demonstrate the TRANSIMS Network Editor based on GeoMedia technology, which provides an easy-to-use ability to display a region's transportation road network and enter data needed by TRANSIMS-DOT.
