Definition:

This element is responsible for providing the maintenance and construction activity for KDOT including snow plow operations, traffic equipment repair, etc. KDOT also has a maintenance and construction system that performs construction inspections with over 50 field Inspectors and routine maintenance handled by work crews. KDOT operates a Construction Management System (CMS) on a mainframe computer that was developed by KDOT for managing construction projects. Other systems used or under development by KDOT include a road condition reporting system (RCRS), a construction detour reporting system (CDRS), which is now one system under KANROAD and a truck routing information system (TRIS) also developed by KDOT. Several other systems are used for maintenance operations such as feature inventory and other functions.
