  2. Discussion Points • WildCAD program update • WildCAD/iRWIn • Enhancements 4.3.3 • Milepost .cvs/.shapefile • Cool Stuff

  3. WildCAD Program Update • Contract with Bighorn Carries us to June 15th, 2013 with the ability to extend 3 years • NAS Servers Be sure only Dispatch is placing material on the servers. Could lose privileges. • Cross Street Data GOOD NEWS/BAD NEWS • TABLED!!! • Option B = Milepost feature/Data

  4. WildCAD Program Update (cont’d) WildCAD Refresh • Security • MS ACCESS not secure • Migrate WildCAD to SQL Server Express • WildCAD “polls” database • Bighorn developed performance test, 10,000 database read/write: • 320 ms Access • 6,000 ms SQL Server

  5. Move From VB6 to DOT NET • VB6 is old technology, optimized for use with Access • DOT NET allows “Query Notifications” • So…Technical Refresh includes: • SQL Server • DOT NET • Completion: July 1, 2012 – ahead of schedule.

  6. DOT NET • Microsoft’s latest programming environment • Close integration with SQL Server • Low-level capabilities, minimizes need for “3rd party control” and DLL Hell.” • GIS Engine: • ESRI products, not limited to shape files • Any projection • Built-in routing, travel times, TIGER streets data

  7. WildCADand iRWIn Purpose of iRWIn: IRWIn (Integrated Reporting of Wildland-Fire Information- is an NWCG sponsored project to develop an “end-to-end” fire reporting capability that provides an integrated and coordinated process for collecting and reporting incident/event data

  8. Example: Lat/Lon • A 2008 interagency efficiency report identified that an interagency dispatcher may have to enter this piece of data in up to 26 different systems. • Once they have received what they need from each system, they do not go back and update each system when better info becomes available. • When questions arise about individual fires or national views, there are often multiple answers depending upon where one goes for the answer.

  9. Systems To Be Included • Presently, we have identified 13 primary systems, and 9 secondary systems as candidates for interconnection. • These systems include: Computer Aided Dispatch, decision support, incident management, financial management, situation analysis, weather, public information, and final fire reporting.

  10. Other Access Wildweb ODS – Operational Data Store WildCAD and The iRWIn Project ICSIntegrated CAD Server WildCAD Center WildCAD Center WildCAD Center

  11. Integrated CAD Server • New WildWeb • Additional public information? • Password-protected interface • Also can feed into local WildCAD • Ideas?

  12. WildCAD – iRWIn:Questions?

  13. Enhancements • WildCAD 4.3.0 • WildWeb 4.3.0 • User Guide • System Administrator Guide • Video

  14. IC Tab: Trainee Comments: Unlimited chars Freqs: wider, defaults Aircraft Tab: 3 new fields Aviation Report Questions Tab Fire Size history Strike through on Incident Log Actions tab show statuses after incident WildWeb: lat/lon Selected Whiteboard cats to WildWeb Sequence Whiteboard from main screen Replace initials and dt/time if updated Multiple timer sounds by incident type Ownership and DPA and others on map Build Incident Shape File - selected Export database viewer tables to .csv dispatcher time F keys for Phone Book and Find Inc Rename Pagers Pager interface from Incident Pager Groups Pager Incident DropDown Import Mile Marker data Create Mile Marker Shape File Street Button on Map New Status: In Service Unavailable Drag Group of Resources to Incident Default Status by Type when dragging Increase characters in status text box Fire Summary Report by Type/SubType SA choice for new incident type SA choice to allow chg Incident Dispatcher Wider Resource Order # Ownership updates from map Add WFDSS export history to new Tab
