Intergraph Paves the Way for Data Access and Sharing with Interoperable Geospatial Transportation Solutions.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers International Highway Engineering Exchange Program Booths 21 & 22 HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 29, 2003 Intergraph showcases advances in interoperability, linear referencing and sophisticated routing and hydrologic modeling at HEEP At the International Highway Engineering Exchange Program (HEEP) in Cheyenne, Wyo., Intergraph Mapping and Geospatial Solutions (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :INGR) is showcasing its latest advances in open interoperable solutions through a series of presentations and demonstrations using datasets from Departments of Transportation (DOTs) nationwide. On display in the Intergraph booths (21 & 22) is a broad array of geospatial, Web mapping and imaging technologies that provide industry specific functionality while ensuring enterprisewide, seamless access to interstate and road inventory and asset data. Intergraph is giving first-time demonstrations of new, breakthrough functionality designed to increase productivity and improve daily decision making and management for engineers, planners and administrators in DOTs, including: -- Support for both linear referencing and sophisticated routing in a single linear network -- A new Interoperability Kit for complete data access through Oracle between Intergraph, Autodesk, Laser-Scan and MapInfo's tools and technologies, regardless of the application used to create, analyze or view the spatial data Data that is represented as 2D or 3D images. A geographic information system (GIS) is one of the primary applications of spatial data (land maps). See spatial analysis, spatial resolution and GIS glossary.

The scientific study of the properties, distribution, and effects of water on the earth's surface, in the soil and underlying rocks, and in the atmosphere. Engineering Center's Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS HEC-HMS Hydrologic Engineering Center's Hydraulic Modeling System (US Army Corps of Engineers) ) that allows hydrologists to visualize their spatial and hydrologic information. The new product uses GeoMedia(R) and GeoMedia Grid to develop hydrologic modeling parameters and generate input files for HEC-HMS. "Intergraph continues to deliver pioneering technology that helps transportation professionals gain ground in their daily operational challenges," said David Kingsbury, Managing Director of Intergraph Mapping and Geospatial Solutions' North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. Transportation Competency Center. "Delivering software and solutions that enhance productivity for DOTs means adding value to the agencies' linear network. Intergraph's new, innovative technology for interoperability, linear referencing and routing all aim to simplify and maintain the accuracy of and access to the linear network." Industry-proven transportation solutions on display During the show, attendees will see desktop, Web and mobile transportation management implementations involving Intergraph customers, including Manitoba Transportation and Government Services, Hawaii DOT, Ohio DOT, Nebraska Department of Roads The Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR) is a state government organization in charge of maintaining public roadways of the U.S. state of Nebraska. Its office headquarters is located in Lincoln, the capital city. , Kansas DOT and Tennessee DOT. These implementations will include solutions for the following: -- Asset routing and management - Intergraph's GeoMedia Transportation Manager and Analyst allows easy access to network and asset data throughout an organization, regardless of format or database location. This allows professionals to maintain their digital road database using source data to view, analyze and present the most up-to-date information. The latest product release provides the capability to support both linear referencing and sophisticated routing with a single linear network. With this new functionality, public officials can now create a public bus route on their existing road network and then use the bus route as a Linear Referencing System (LRS LRS Lawyer Referral Service (Ontario) LRS Library Research Service LRS Linear Referencing System (transportation engineering) LRS Logistics Readiness Squadron (USAF) ) to reference all bus-related assets. -- Image management - Z/I Imaging's TerraShare stores and manages terabytes of heterogeneous imagery and terrain data to empower transportation agencies with access to the most up-to-date information for planning and construction. -- Digital Image Acquisition - Z/I Imaging's Digital Mapping Digitizing geographic information for a geographic information system (GIS). Camera (DMC DMC Devil May Cry (video game) DMC Detroit Medical Center DMC Darryl McDaniels (rapper) DMC Destination Management Company DMC Del Mar College (Corpus Christi, TX) (TM)) empowers transportation agencies to acquire the best aerial image An aerial image is a projected image which is "floating in air", and cannot be viewed normally. It can only be seen from one position in space, often focused by another lens. data possible to support data capture and decision-support systems. -- Engineering enterprise Web portals - Subcontractors, suppliers, transportation companies and passengers can satisfy their information needs with dynamic access to an organization's information repository through Web portals using Intergraph's GeoMedia Web technology. -- Field data collection using location-based services - User-friendly IntelliWhere software for the PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) A handheld computer for managing contacts, appointments and tasks. It typically includes a name and address database, calendar, to-do list and note taker, which are the functions in a personal information manager (see PIM). enables field crews to collect and update data for tasks such as road sign inventory, accident analysis and more with GIS and asset data at their fingertips "Fingertips" is a 1963 number-one hit single recorded live by "Little" Stevie Wonder for Motown's Tamla label. Wonder's first hit single, "Fingertips" was the first live, non-studio recording to reach number-one on the Billboard Pop Singles chart in the United States. . -- Hydrologic modeling - Soon-to-be released software helps visually determine an area of interest as hydrologic engineers predict precipitation results. The new software designates drainage paths and watersheds from terrain data, such as Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), which are then used to derive hydrologic parameters to submit to HEC-HMS. Intergraph presentations highlight customer successes At the five-day conference, Intergraph industry consultant Mike Wing will showcase customer projects that use GeoMedia technology to streamline daily activities, including "Leveraging the Database to Facilitate Kansas DOT's Construction Detour Reporting System" and "Implementing a Flexible Methodology for Displaying and Analyzing HPMS HPMS Highway Performance Monitoring System HPMS Harper Park Middle School HPMS Hierarchical Process Modeling System HPMS High Performance Mass Spectrometers HPMS High Performance Monitoring System HPMS Home Pain Management Systems, Inc. Data on the Web for Hawaii DOT." Intergraph's Sean Davies will also discuss hydrologic modeling requirements of DOTs in "When it Rains - It Pours! - Hydrologic Flood Modeling for DOTs."
