The Year in Infrastructure 2007 - (Page 52) ciVil innOVatiOn SCDOT Outdoor Advertising Permitting System south carolina dOt The Bentley Outdoor Advertising Permitting System created for the South Carolina Department of Transportation can create applications for billboards and track the workflow of the approval process from initial request of a billboard permit to final approval. It also serves as an inventory system of currently active billboards, enabling users to produce billing invoices for the yearly renewal of all active billboards, store images of the billboards, and, through a mapping interface, locate billboards. Recent enhancements include a Web interface for sign owners that allows them to track the status of their applications and can also pay application and permit fees online using credit cards. In addition, permits can now be bulk transferred from one sign owner to another. The project itself included the implementation of the system, data conversion, and end-user training. TCK Forced Balanced Project tcK Karayollari genel mudurlugu TCK Karayollari’s organization in Turkey consists of 17 districts and around 20,000 employees. The project encompassed a highway project that began at the survey stage and proceeded through usage of intelligent features at both profile, cross sections, and design phases. All haul payments were automatically calculated so engineers could design alternate routes and reduce or optimize construction costs. Project cost was $700,000 and construction cost was $7 million. The Bentley software used, which included MicroStation, InRoads, and MicroStation GeoGraphics, facilitated the sharing of design data and 3D capabilities enabled interchange designs to be easily visualized. The budget of the construction project is very limited so cost balancing analysis to fit the optimum design standards is the top critical issue in the project. 52 ThE YEAR IN INFRASTRUCTURE 2007
