Case Study: District Department of Transportation achieves safer, faster permitting with Hexagon

District Department of Transportation - Customer Case Study

The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) faced a challenge with its manual process for issuing oversize/overweight vehicle permits, which was cumbersome, costly, and potentially error-prone. This system caused significant delays for carriers and increased the risk of infrastructure damage from unsafe routing. To address this, DDOT selected routing and restriction management software from Hexagon.

Hexagon's solution was integrated with DDOT's permitting system to automate route planning, cross-referencing vehicle data against infrastructure and temporary restrictions to generate the safest possible route. This has helped prevent bridge strikes, improved overall traffic congestion, and ensured permits are issued quickly and safely. According to DDOT, the return on investment from avoiding even a single bridge strike per year is substantial.
