Dept. of Transportation and DevelopmentNTL-PLANNING AND POLICY-PLANNING AND POLICYUS Transportation CollectionThe Louisiana Department of Transportation (LADOTD) has been collecting geotechnical data for many years in a variety of different formats. Accessing this data and combining it with new data for the purpose of design, analysis, visualization, and reporting is difficult because the data have been generated by disparate systems and stored as hard copies, scanned images, various digital formats, or other non-digital formats such as microfilm. Essentially, there is no single system or repository nor an integrated, systematic approach for collecting, managing, archiving, and retrieving the vast amount of geotechnical data that are collected or generated by LADOTD each year.93
