  1. GIS in the Cloud with SharePoint Integration Can Cloud Computing Transform GIS-Transit Business? Shirley Hsiao Service Development Manger Michael Hino Service Development GIS Analyst

  2. Presentation Outline How LBT applied GIS-Transit database framework on the Cloud LBT Bus Stops Module Demonstration What are the GIS-Transit considerations for Cloud computing? How not to get stuck in the Cloud

  3. LBT Service at Glance • Mid-size fleet with 240 buses • 28 million annual ridership • Transit mode split: 7% • Diverse population: 73% minority • Median Family Income: $57,700 • 19.7% population, 27.6% children below poverty

  4. GIS-Transit Database Framework at LBT AVL Farebox APC Scheduling GIS Route Design

  5. Why focus on Cloud & SharePoint with GIS • Proven technology for corporate application • Streamline corporate data distribution • Minimum initiation cost and scalable development

  10. Process Optimized with Web Mapping & SharePoint

  11. Process Optimized with Web Mapping & SharePoint

  12. Process Optimized with Web Mapping & SharePoint

  13. Web Application on Amazon EC2 with ArcGIS Server • What is needed? • Published Maps • Via ArcGIS Server on Amazon Web Service (AWS) • ArcGIS Online, Portal, etc. • Application Program Interface (API) • Via FlexViewer • Java, Silverlight, etc.

  14. How Difficult is it to Start a Service on the Cloud? • Relatively Simple (like flipping a switch) • Create an account on the Web Service • Let ESRI know the account number to set up an instance • Login to the Web Service and Start up your server instance

  15. Web Application: Publishing Layers to the Cloud Layers to the Cloud

  16. Web Application: on the Cloud Configuring the API

  17. Process Optimized with Web Mapping & SharePoint

  18. Process Optimized with Web Mapping & SharePoint

  19. SharePoint: Issue Entry • Issue Entry by LBT Staff • Advantageous from staff knowledge and experience • Chair is NotifiedAutomatically • Validation of Entries • Add Entry Details • Entry is Placed into a Review Section for Meeting Discussion • Information linked to carried over stop ID

  20. SharePoint: Committee Meeting • Web App can be used for Visual aid of Locations • Issue Item Details can be filled out by Chair • Item can be assigned and auto-emailed to staff

  21. SharePoint: Stops Committee Dashboard

  22. Rethink how transit works internally Improve consistent and accurate information distribution Reduce dependency on legacy operation Encourage participation from others

  23. Lessons Learned • Focus on data quality • Standardize the core transit data • Develop collaborative projects with others • Obtain on-going technical advice

  24. How not to get stuck in the Cloud • Avoid sensitive data regarding security and safety issues • Obtain IT support in advance • Identify relevant projects that can be leveraged from the existing structure

  25. Think Big, Take Small Steps toward a Smarter Work Place
