                Roadsoft
**Description:**
        Roadsoft is a software suite designed for collecting, storing, and analyzing data associated with transportation assets. The software was built on a combination of database engine and GIS mapping tools. Roadsoft was developed and is supported by the Center for Technology & Training, which is part of the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Michigan Technological University. Roadsoft manages a variety of data associated with transportation systems:

Roads, Bridges, Culverts, Driveways, Intersections, Sidewalks
	Traffic Signals, Signs, Guardrails, Pavement Markings
	Traffic Counts, Crash Data
	The following are key features of the software:

	**GIS-Based Map Interface:** provides a visual representation of the roadway assets in the database.
		**Laptop and Mobile Data Collection:** provides a tool to collect data using a GPS connected to the Laptop Data Collector utility, which allows users to collect and maintain accurate data for the Roadsoft database. Roadsoft Mobile for Android and iOS is also available.
		**Inventory of Assets:** includes detailed data for pavements, signs, and other roadway assets.
		**Asset Management Analysis Tools:** enable users to create and implement construction and maintenance strategies.
		**Data Mining and Report Generation Capabilities:** provide summaries of specific data in the database and enhance understanding of the data for all stakeholders.**Safety Analysis Tools:** allow users to filter, sort, and analyze crash data patterns. Potential network screening can help identify problem areas at road segments, intersections, and on curves. Roadsoft includes NCHRP documentation to help find safety countermeasures.
