South Carolina DOT (SCDOT) selected Hexagon’s geospatial division to implement a transportation safety management system that will support state road safety programs and federal reporting requirements.
According to Hexagon, the integrated system will allow SCDOT to leverage accident data from South Carolina Department of Public Safety databases for faster and more accurate analysis. It will provide a data-based environment to help transportation analysts and safety engineers identify high-risk locations based on accident rates, frequency, road characteristics and other criteria. The system will also support data collection and project identification for the South Carolina Road Safety Improvement Program, which is critical to financing transportation safety programs.
“Hexagon’s security management system will give us a complete lifecycle approach to integrate, analyze and report data related to traffic collisions,” said Duncan Smith, SCDOT’s state traffic safety engineer, in a statement. “This will ensure that we have the appropriate data to make more informed decisions and propose the right countermeasures for security projects across the state. “
The SCDOT transport security management system will be developed, tested and implemented in two phases over the next 26 months. SCDOT uses commercial software and custom solutions designed by Hexagon to manage more than 79,000 miles of highways and roads across South Carolina.
