TSASS provided facilitator services to the American
Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) in the
definition and development of software that is part of the AASHTOWare
suite of programs. This software provides state and local
governmental agencies with an interface between a wide range of
transportation safety data capture and analysis tools, as well as legacy
data systems within the agency, while providing a common interface for the
sharing of application tools and data.
Roadway Inventory and Linear Referencing System Standard
An AASHTO Standards Development Project
As a cooperative effort between FHWA and AASHTO, and in
support of the TSIMS effort, a project was formed to develop a
standard for roadway inventory and linear referencing systems. This
project, lead by AASHTO with funding support from FHWA, relies upon an
advisory group from various state, federal and local agencies around the
U.S. to provide guidance and consensus to the development effort. At
key points within the project, open meetings where others with
an interest in the effort were given the opportunity to address the working
group.
