  1. Major Stakeholder Project Kickoff Routing Texas into the Future

  2. Welcome&Introductions

  3. Agenda • The Problem • The Solution • The Team Approach • The Contract (SOW) • The Progress-to-date • The Next Steps • Q & A

  4. The Problem Revisited

  5. Volume vs. Service • 33% increase in 4 years with no staff increase • No projected let-up in sight • Service level and corresponding cost to industry is unacceptable – carriers running “hot” (no permit, no route)

  6. Permit Growth FY 2003 - 2007

  7. Impact on TxDOT Goals • Reduce Congestion • Unpermitted OS/OW loads are not routed to avoid structures, restrictions, or time limitations in heavily congested areas • Enhance Safety • TxDOT’s primary mission to provide safe, effective and efficient movement is significantly jeopardized when loads run without permitted routes

  8. Impact on TxDOT Goals • Expand Economic Opportunity • Permitting delays represent significant cost to carriers, shippers and end consumers. Consistent, extended delays impact decisions on use of ports and Texas as a business location. • Improve Air Quality • Effective, efficient routing reduces time on roadways and time spent sitting in traffic.

  9. Impact on TxDOT Goals • Increase the value of transportation assets • Properly routed loads serve to maintain value by reducing damage and maintenance cost, allowing more dollars to go to new assets. • Increased permit volume = increased fees to State Highway Fund.

  10. The Solution

  11. The Solution - TxPROS • The Approach • Early Requirements Gathering • RFI • RFO • Vendor Selection • Contract Negotiations • The Vendor Partner • ProMiles Software Development Corp (PSDC)

  12. PSDC • Texas Corporation – based in Bridge City • Long history in trucking industry support • Experience in truck permitting since 1983 • Routing trucks since 1993 • Currently provides street routing for heavy trucks throughout North America • The truck routing partner of Tele Atlas

  13. PSDC Truck Routing Experience • Truck routing via web solutions since 1998 • TruckMiles.com runs more than a million trips per month for more than 100,000 drivers and thousands of small trucking companies

  14. PSDC Experience with Restrictions • Applying truck restrictions to GIS databases for 14+ years • Current street routing database has restrictions on more than 25 million road segments

  15. PSDC – The Truck Routing Partner of Tele Atlas • Working with Tele Atlas and Tele Atlas data since 2004 • Providing virtually all truck attribution for the Tele Atlas logistic product since its inception in 2005 • Over 25 million road segments with restrictions • More than 50 vehicle types • More than 40 categories of restrictions

  16. The Tele Atlas Texas GIS Database • Largest routable highway data of Texas • 661,882 miles of roads in Texas • 3,955,190 individual road segments • 90,746 miles of on-system roads (usable for permits) • 600,472 road segments on-system

  17. PSDC – Experienced Working with GIS Data • Experience merging GIS data

  18. PSDC The best and most experienced industry partner for TxPROS

  19. The Solution - TxPROS • A “true” automated routing system • Web-based • Compatible with TxDOT’s data and systems • Includes all appropriate routing parameters • Real-time restrictions management and tracking • Routed permits “self-issue” capable • Tracking and reporting of all routed loads (fixed and ad-hoc/query)

  20. The Solution - TxPROS Timely permit issuance enhances TxDOT’s ability to Reduce Congestion Enhance Safety Expand Economic Opportunity Improve Air Quality Increase Value of Transportation Assets
