The application of computer based, spatial information technology (GIS) to the management of transportation facilities is becoming increasingly important. This project was for the development of spatially referenced system for management of roadside landscape and irrigation development in Arizona. Texas Transportation Institute, Environmental Management Program with ADOT's assistance completed the research activities associated with the identification of needs, an assessment of the Arizona Department of Transportation's computing environment, conceptual design of the management system, evaluation of hardware and software, the pilot demonstration and subsequent trial implementation activities. The research focused on the development of a 'paperless' management system where the integration of technologies is the key to effective system consisted of the development of a spatially referenced mapping system for highway landscape and irrigation inventory, integration of intelligent maps into handheld data collection devices, collection of information into handheld devices and incorporation of these new technologies into existing data management systems.
