The objective of this report is to provide Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) personnel with recommendations concerning the implementation of new equipment or technologies that will benefit in the management of vegetation in the roadside right-of-way. The focus of this particular report is to encourage ODOT to implement promising computer technologies into their roadside vegetation management programs. During the remainder of the current Joint Project 2156 (Roadside Vegetation Management Training, Consultation and Development of Educational Resources) significant efforts will be made by OSU Roadside Vegetation Management (RVM) personnel to increase the use and effectiveness of computers with regards to the many vegetation issues ODOT personnel deal with each year. Personal computers are currently being underutilized as a tool in assisting ODOT vegetation managers in communications, data transfer, training activities, and in documentation of maintenance.
