VDOT needed a transportation-centric, web-based, and mobile-enabled HMMS solution to improve management and cost control of its operations across all nine field Districts and Central Office, with specific focus on Maintenance, Traffic Engineering, and Structure and Bridge functional areas.

VDOT's Highway Maintenance Management System, HMMS is one of the largest IT Systems at VDOT specifically designed to exploit, rather than replicate, existing Enterprise capabilities.

HMMS is the first VDOT System to use VITA's IBM Information Broker (IIB) platform for all major integration points, both internally and externally. Not only has this streamlined interface delivery, it also means the system is pre-postured to support the Dept. of Accounts' emerging CARDINAL APIs as soon as they become available.

HMMS uses VDOT's ESRI ArcGIS Portal platform for a common framework to provide its web and mobile mapping interfaces, which reduces hardware, storage, and software costs, leverages existing data sets (such as RNS) in real time, and simplifies integration with other supporting/supported systems.

By requiring industry-standard mobile app platforms and identity management tools, VDOT can deploy the HMMS MobileVUE COTS solution to a wide variety of new and previously-deployed tablets and smartphones on a variety of networks across the Commonwealth, avoiding vendor and hardware lock-in.

The HMMS Project has made a significant positive impact on VDOT's operational processes. As of 25 June, 268,176 work orders have been processed in HMMS, with 167,972 of them originating directly from the CSC, and 2,572 of them created in the field on our growing fleet of mobile devices.

This initial release of HMMS has already made clear improvements to the VDOT's ability to manage, forecast, resource, and respond to the needs of its citizens across its entire highway infrastructure. It has empowered field users to respond and communicate outcomes in real-time, assisting the Department in meeting constantly evolving customer service goals while reducing costs, administrative overhead, and planning lag times.
