web-enabled, GIS-based landslide database

12

ODOT’s Research Summit 2010

Research Results

• Early-stage detection and proactive

remediation

• Aids in project planning and prioritization
• ODOT spends $60,000,000 annually in

geohazard remediation

• Research may provide 30-40% reduction

in overall annual costs

13

ODOT’s Research Summit 2010

LiDAR Innovations

• Generate planning & design products
• Determine favorable LiDAR target design
• Demonstrate LiDAR can collect significant

amounts of data rich in traffic flow information at little to no additional cost

• Refine horizontal accuracy using linear features

such as pavement lane lines

14

ODOT’s Research Summit 2010

Research Results

• Increased accuracy over traditional

photogrammetry (fixed wing)

• Expedited development of

highway improvement projects

– Two Weeks to Four Day

• Savings of at least $3M per

year from LiDAR applications

21ST Century Transportation Challenges

Future Freight Tsunami

• Projected 67% rise in freight movement by 2020
• Congestion costs Ohioan’s $1.5B annually

Aging Infrastructure

• Roadway system constructed primarily from 1950 - 1970
• 70% of Ohio’s River Lock System is 30 – 50 years old

Limited Funding Options

• Heavy reliance on declining motor fuel tax revenue
• GRF may be reduced in light of state budgetary deficit

19

ODOT’s Research Summit 2010

Aging Population

• From 2008 to 2030, the proportion of the population age

60 and over in Ohio is projected to reach 25.8%.

Environmental Impacts

• 11 Ohio metro areas do not meet Federal EPA standards
• Transportation sector accounts for 26% of the CO2

emissions in Ohio

ODOT Attrition Rate

• 42% of ODOT workforce eligible for retirement by 2015
• Positions may not be backfield so processes must be

streamlined
