This objective is achieved through an example application that requires information distributed across multiple databases both internal and external to VDOT to address. With effort, these data can be brought together into a single application, but doing so can be tedious and time consuming, limiting potential applications. Through this research, the goal is to demonstrate the potential benefit for integrated data for VDOT assessment management
