  1. Technology Application Partners for NCRST-E NCRST-E Fall 2001 Advisory Board Meeting

  2. New Technology Application Projects There have been new TAP’s selected, three of which have been associated with the NCRST-E: • Virginia DOT • Washington DOT • Veridian

  3. New TAP linked to NCRST-E Virginia DOT; Dan Widner widner_dk@vdot.state.va.us 804 - 786 - 6762 Washington DOT; E.

  4. John Albasini VERIDIAN Building 1100, Room 11139 Stennis (228) 688-1504 john. albasini @ veridian .com Regional Database Development for Transportation Planning

  5. Project Partners • Gulf Regional Planning Commission (GRPC) • Largest MPO in south Mississippi covering • six coastal counties • Southern Rapid Rail Transit Commission (SRRTC) • Planning agency comprised of commissioners • from Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi • Mississippi State University • Hosting IMS web server • Providing additional data for project Additional Interested Parties Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) Mississippi Department of Marine Resources

  6. Project Location

  7. Transportation/Environmental Concern Project will allow transportation planners and environmental scientists to rapidly evaluate a project area and determine alternative solutions without having to conduct multiple field investigations.

  8. Proposed Remote Sensing/GIS Solution Paradigm 1. Change detection analysis for updating landcover/ landuse 2. Sharing of data across the Internet via an Internet Map Server (IMS) 3. GIS based planning tool for automatic calculation of environmental impacts, creation of impact matrices and development of alignment mapping.

  9. Milestone RSPA Funding Cost Share Total Cost 1. Database updating and development $70,517 $81,200 $151,717 2. Development and Integration of IMS $30,000 $16,000 $ 46,000 3. Development of GIS planning tool $41,500 $ 3,000 $ 44,500 4. Training on planning tool $ 7,000 $ 6,500 $ 13,500 Grand Total $149,017 $106,700 $255,717 Project Funding and Cost Sharing

  10. Project Deliverables 1. GIS Vector Database with Imagery on CD-ROM 2. Report detailing DEM Comparison 3. Universal Resource Listing (URL) address for active IMS web site 4. Decision Support Planning Tool. 5. Quarterly Reports 6. Final Report

  11. PROJECT TITLE: Automating Wetlands Identification to meet Federal Reporting Requirements Integration with existing GIS architecture to streamline the process for planned road construction projects

  12. “As is” Planning Process • Wetland surveys are conducted using: • 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual • Supplemental information from: • National Wetland Inventory • 1959 Soil Survey (USDA-SCS) • Aerial photography • Field Reconnaissance

  13. Remote Sensing and the Planning Process • Remotely sensed wetlands data can be introduced early in the planning process • Benefits include: • Incorporation with other available GIS data layers • Good preliminary indication of potential impact • Provides an accurate guide to field reconnaissance and survey

  14. Integration with VDOT’s GIS Architecture • Derived wetland polygons will be made available through VDOT GIS • Thin client, web-enabled, enterprise wide • Oracle, ESRI/SDE, and ArcIMS software • Data will be integrated with other enterprise GIS Data

  15. Planned Investigative Approach Route 17, City of Chesapeake Virginia

  16. Planned Investigative Approach • Review VDOT wetland identification processes for projects • Review completed processes for Route 17 • Acquire Erdas Sub-pixel software • Identify and acquire imagery • Establish reflectance ranges for vegetation types

  17. Planned Investigative Approach • Unsupervised and supervised classification routine refinement • Output polygons to compare with existing GIS data (soil types, NWI) • Compare to existing field reconnaissance data • Load polygons into enterprise GIS to make available to Environmental Analysts • Environmental Analysts “redline” data • Redlines available to others via internal web GIS
