GeoTex is currently finalizing the process of determining ADA approved slopes for ramp and non-ramp areas across Texas State’s campus. GeoTex has remained on schedule, and will begin the routing process next week.
3
All essential buildings on Texas State’s campus will have ADA approved routes leading to them GeoTex strives to create easy-to-read maps to assist all persons with disabilities in navigating the campus
4
TASK 1: Determine/map accessible non-ramp areas TASK 2: Gather ramp data, determine, and add accessible ramp areas to non-ramp map. TASK 3: Routing process

Blanco hall to the JC Kellam building
6
Task 1: Route map slope data Acquired all necessary data Created map of existing routes Converted LiDAR data and created high resolution slope map Task 2: GPS data collection Acquired GPS device from Department of Geography Task 3: Verify analysis and design final map Scheduled tasks to be completed

Task 1: Route map slope data Designing final deliverable slope map. Task 2: GPS data collection Collecting point data of all curb-cut and wheelchair ramp locations. Collecting building interior accessibility data (automatic doors, elevators, ramps, etc.) Task 3: Design final deliverable route map and verify analysis Work has been scheduled.
10
Task 2: GPS data collection Import GPS data into ArcMap and determine slope between each curb-cut and wheelchair ramp point collected in the field. Task 3: Design final route map and verify analysis Develop routes that comply with ADA standards. Design final deliverable route map. Upload all deliverables to project website.

Unable to obtain a GPS device with a high enough resolution and level of accuracy to obtain precise measurements of shallow slope areas in the field. Original DEM data had a resolution of 10 meters. This resolution is too low for any meaningful slope analysis on campus. ◦ Resolved: The group acquired and formatted LiDAR data which now has a resolution of 6 inches.
