ND Department of Transportation GIS Tools and Applications ND GIS Users Conference October 2005 Brian Bieber Programmer/Analyst III Information Technology Division North Dakota Department of Transportation
2
Overview Background DOT Software Tools - ArcMap –RIMS Extension –DOT Utilities Focused Applications – ArcIMS and Visual Basic –Traffic Information Map –Road Conditions Map –Road Construction Map –Design Cover Sheet –Right-of-Way Plats
3
How did I get into GIS?? No one else in IT wanted the job Learned OTJ Started from the programming side Patient Managers Patient Users Helpful Colleagues with a LOT of knowledge –Rod Bassler (Master Yoda) - SWC –Gerald Kautzman – NDDOT –GISTC Members
4
DOT Software ArcMap 9.0 - 104 Installations 7 Concurrent ArcInfo 13 Concurrent ArcView ArcView 3.3 - 46 Installations Windows 2000 Server –ArcSDE 9.0 –SQL Server 2000 –ArcIMS 9.0 –IIS 5.0 - Tomcat Jakarta Development Languages –VBA –VB 6.0 –VB.Net –ASP
5
What’s the POINT? Using small applications to integrate GIS into everyday workflows
6
ArcMap Tools DOT Utilities Tool Roadway Inventory Management System (RIMS) Tool
7
DOT Utilities Tool - ArcMap “Zoom To” common features –Longitude Latitude –XY –Section Township Range –Highway - Mile Point –City –County Add XY text to mouse click
8
DOT Utilities – Built In Help
9
Zoom To - Section
10
Zoom To Highway – Reference Point
11
Zoom To - Cities
12
DOT Utilities – XY Callout
13
RIMS Tool - ArcMap Adds commonly used spatial data sets –Route Events –XY Events Symbolizes each category of features Back End Info –Read only tables on SDE –Data transferred from DB2, Oracle, and Access –One stop for table data
14
RIMS Data Highways –By District –By Section Highway Components Highway Projects Billboards Bridges Centerline Pipes Curves – Vertical Curves - Horizontal Fences Functional Class of Road Guardrails Inslope Ratio Lights Remarks Right-of-Way Rumble Strips Signs Speed Zones
15
Select either State-wide or District
16
Select event data
17
Add Signs for District 8 - Fargo
18
RIMS Signs for Roads and Ramps
19
Focused Applications Traffic Information Map Road Conditions Map Construction Map Design Cover Sheet Right-of-Way Plats
20
Transportation Information Map
21
Traffic counts by class of vehicle Volume traffic counts Turning movements Breakpoint counts Portable count locations Automated traffic counter locations Functional Classes
22
Transportation Information Map Benefits –10-40 hits per day –50% reduction in current count requests –1-2 hours per day saved in researching counts –Internal requests reduced close to 0 –Traffic information in one place Next Step –Move to external web site
23
Road Conditions Map
24
Detailed print out Web Cameras
25
Road Conditions Map Application Access Application feeds ND Hub –Downloads event table from legacy Road Report application –Downloads reference point table (contains route measures) from DB2 –Calculates from and to route measures for each event. If it can’t find a reference point, it walks the reference point table 3 miles forward and backward to find a close reference point. –Creates an event layer in memory and uploads it as a feature class to the Hub ArcMap feature classes draw considerably faster than route events –Sends an ArcXML file to create a static maps –Sends link to ASP page to update the “Date” text file –Opens web page for user to verify everything uploaded correctly
26
Road Conditions Map Benefits –Errors eliminated - Maps exactly the same each upload –Information is more timely –5 minutes reduction in preparation time October 5 th and 6 th Hits –Interactive Map 5,450 –Static Maps 654,665 (Please Note: Pages refresh every 60 seconds)
27
Road Construction Map
28
Road Construction Map Application Access Application feeds ND Hub –Downloads road construction event table from Construction Automated Records System (CARS) –Creates an event layer in memory and uploads it as a feature class to the Hub ArcMap feature classes draw considerably faster than route events –Sends an ArcXML file to ArcIMS. Parses the response to build an image map and map tip text files –Uploads text files –Sends an ArcXML file to create a static maps –Sends link to ASP page to update the “Date” text file –Opens web page for user to verify everything uploaded correctly
29
Road Construction Map Benefits –4 minutes versus 2 hours of preparation time –Maps are updated multiple times per day instead 3 times per week –Maps created dynamically with field data –Multiple maps can be created depending on the density of road construction projects –Paper maps are no longer sent out
30
Design Cover Sheet
31
Scale Tool – Design Cover Sheet Used to zoom to specified scale.
32
Export Map – Design Cover Sheet Creates any of following files for download –PDF, JPEG, PNG8, TIFF, etc Files can be imported into other documents such as Microstation or Word Restricted Haul (county) roads is a layer in this application
33
Design Cover Sheets Benefits –5 minutes versus 30 minutes of preparation time –County haul roads electronically available These used to be maintained with tape on paper maps –Maps are more consistent –External web site – Available to contractors
34
Right-of-Way Plats
35
Plats available for that section
36
Scanned Right-of-Way Plats
37
Right-of-Way Plats Benefits –4 hours saved per day per ROW designer –2 hours per project for Flight planner –Scanned plats are imported into Microstation –Anyone within the DOT can view them without contacting ROW –Sending scanned plats to consultants Next Step –Move to external web site
