  1. Automated Map Generation in Indianapolis Chuck Carufel, IndyGIS Joe LaCombe, Woolpert, Inc.

  2. Background IndyGIS is comprised of 9 staff members supplemented by our GIS Services vendor, Woolpert. IndyGIS is a division within ISA which is the IT organization for The City of Indianapolis/Marion County serving approximately 6000 computing devices.

  3. AME Automated Mapping Engine

  4. Contributing Factors Staff time spent creating basic maps. Not a good use of talents. Last minute requests. Reduced staffing. User intimidation. Cartographic skills are rare. Map requests are often repeated.

  5. Contributing Factors Cont… Create a more consistent look. Expand the use of GIS without the associated software & training costs. Three-year Strategic Plan “Geo-reporting Wizard” – Query based IndyProjects Bulletin Board – For Citizens

  6. Initial Plan Two separate applications…. Subscription service Maps published by GIS Staff Map Wizard Replacement for ArcView3.x wizard very popular with users.

  7. Convened focus groups of users from various areas. And Then……. Adjusted our Plans!

  8. Revised Plan The users felt that the Map Wizard was much more important than published maps. • Phase 1 • Map Wizard • Maintenance Application • Automated Cleanup Service • Phase 2 • Tabular Reports • Save Map Definitions • Email Subscription Service

  9. Key AME Points Database Driven Map Templates Layer Availability Layers Symbology Report Definitions Attributes Query Definition User Registration Subscription Definition Web-based Interface, (No Client Licensing)

  10. Key AME Points Cont…. ArcGIS Server Based Full ArcGIS Cartography Wizard Interface Saved Queries, Live Data Intranet Only Realization that the real benefit will result when we can present non-GIS based information spatially via transparent integrations.

  11. Continuing On…. Overview of Interface System Architecture – What’s happening behind the scenes? Future plans

  12. Map Wizard Walkthrough

  13. User Portal Login

  14. Saved Map Definitions

  15. Subscriptions

  16. Add New Subscription

  17. Add New Subscription

  18. Add Subscription Recipients

  19. How It Works……

  20. Technology ASP.NET 1.1 ArcGIS Server Database driven

  21. System Architecture

  22. Map Generation Process Flow

  23. System Architecture – Phase 2

  24. Challenges/Lessons Learned Learning curve – this was the first project of this magnitude and complexity using ArcGIS Server Performance of Map Export Complexity: Database  Portal  Map output Decreased front-end complexity is a product of increased back-end complexity

  25. What’s Coming/Enhancements Basic migration to ArcGIS Server 9.2 environment Eventual Enhancements: Migration of code to ArcGIS Server 9.2 Web ADF Migration to ASP.NET 2.0 Integration with new printing web service (Requirements being defined now).
