1 GIS-T 2016 PennDOT s Path to Survey123 for Field Collection Jeff Fennimore, Spatial Infrastructure Manager Pennsylvania DOT Nate Reck, Gov t Solutions Director GeoDecisions

2 Topics/Discussions Asset Condition Assessment - Today Desktop Web Device Why Replace Existing Solution? Technology Assessment Why use Survey123? Findings during the Pilot Portal Proposed Solution Path Forward Server Online Content and Services

3 Asset Condition Assessment - Today

4 Current Pavement and Asset Survey System Systematic Technique to Analyze and Manage Pennsylvania's pavements (STAMPP) Survey System was developed in Microsoft Access person team per engineering district completes manual distress surveys of the following assets: - Drainage Conditions - Unpaved Roads - Guide Rails - Shoulder

5 Current Pavement and Asset Survey System Teams are temporary Engineering, Scientific, and Technical Interns (ESTI) Surveys are performed during the summer months Asset and survey data is retrieved and uploaded via flat files to/from PennDOT s Roadway Management System (RMS)

6 Why Replace Existing System?

7 Why Replace Existing Pavement Survey Solution? Microsoft Access form code is outdated and difficult to update Does not support mobile devices Does not support mapping of assets Upload mechanism is difficult and has no validation Database corruption in the field Would like the forms to be more user friendly Bulky equipment in the vehicle And so on.

8 Technology Assessment Legacy vs Collector vs Survey123 vs

9 Decisions, Decisions, Decisions Timeline 3-4 Years Ago Esri built the Local Roads Collector for PennDOT - ArcGIS Mobile on Rugged tablets running Windows - Works, but hard to maintain. Will run out of support. 8 Months Ago Review of Collector and Its Capabilities - Looked promising, easy to use, light-weight 3 Months Ago Worked with Esri to see if Collector could be altered for PennDOT s workflow needs - No, Collector no longer an option bummer Today Survey123

10 Why Survey123?

11 Why Survey123? Hard requirements for PennDOT: - Editing of Existing Data - Conditional Logic Support - disabling a dropdown(control) based on selecting a value from another control GeoDecisions was invited to participate in the Survey123 Holistic Event - Early March Provide support in customizing Survey123 to edit existing survey data Survey123 Technology - Survey123 is an AppStudio application - Update the Survey123 application by using QML and JavaScript programming languages

12 Why Survey123? Contains out of the box templates or you can expand on them and build your own Easy to deploy them to a device Similar thought process to that of AGOL templates Full support and integration of the Esri Platform AGOL or Portal Offline Editing and Syncing Desktop Web Device Portal Server Online Content and Services

13 Proposed Solution

14 Proposed Survey123 Architecture ArcGIS Server Enterprise GIS/RMS Web Service Feature Service AGOL Survey123

15 Proposed Survey123 Solution Download Surveys and Data by County

16 Sample Forms Customizable, conditional questions and steps Set to work on a phone or a tablet PennDOT looking to supply ipads for this work to the interns in the field Simple, easy to use Work offline sync later

17 Submit Surveys to Feature Service

18 Path Forward

19 Where Do We Go From Here? Pilot for a single district to be done and ready for June use in the field One member of the team will use the old method while the other member(s) use the new pilot method. Used to benchmark the data collected and accuracy. After this collection season is over, tweak application and roll out statewide for next year Possible enhancements: Map integration and routing of surveys More LRS data on the forms for reference???
