Evolution of Florida Department of Transportation's Roadway Characteristics Inventory (RCI)
The Florida Department of Transportation's Roadway Characteristics Inventory (RCI) has evolved significantly since its inception in 1975, transitioning from a hierarchical IMS mainframe database to a web-based DB2 relational database in 2004. The RCI system now incorporates features for both Planning, Maintenance, and Traffic Operations, allowing for better data management and budget allocation. The current focus includes expanding transportation modes to include Rail and Trails, with future plans to incorporate Airports, Seaports, and a Geospatial system for enhanced data collection and analysis. Despite some funding challenges, efforts are underway to support the RCI project's continued progress.

RCI Current Worked with ISF to conduct JAR (Joint Application Requirement) sessions through out the state. 28 JAR sessions. 9/14/15 11/4/15. 592 data requirements. 26 business requirements 258 functional requirements 33 non-functional requirements Florida Department of Transportation
RCI Future There is a need for other modes of non- linear transportation systems to be added Airports Seaports New system will be Geospatial. Re-design how some features are collected Signs Guardrail Florida Department of Transportation
RCI Future Schedule IV B was created to fund next portion of project. Supported by the Governor Not supported by House and Senate, not funded. Finding money in other areas to keep this project moving forward. Florida Department of Transportation
RCI Future In the mean time: Added new feature for Cable Barrier systems. Added new characteristic for Bold Landscape under the Landscape Feature. Going to update Maintenance Add screens to utilize drop down boxes for codes on certain characteristics. Florida Department of Transportation
