North Slope Decision Support SystemRequirements & SpecificationsNovember 9, 2009Fairbanks, Alaska
Notes from Day 1 • Data Layers • Add connection to ADF&G –Anadromous Waters Catalog Databases – Online GIS system • NHD • Lakes (better than current layer) • Rivers (better detail) • Vegetation layer from Jess @ GINA • More to be covered by Amy Tidwell in Data Plan Discussion
Notes from Day 1 • Data Explorer • More Ways to Query • Multiple variables • “Blank” call – show all data in window • Google-like Phrase Parsing • More Explanation if Data is not accessible: • Feedback on how data call is progressing • Internet Connection • Web Service Problems • Export to Excel/Txt file should include metadata or citation data • Cache for local data • Additional Data Analysis Capabilities
Notes from Day 1 • Ice Road Planning – Interface & Data • Remove/Clear for GIS Layers • DEM – higher detail • Higher Detail Lakes – from NHD • Vegetation Layer • Manually Draw Route to Assess Efficiency
Notes from Day 1 • Ice Road Planning - Algorithm • Allow range of start points (e.g. along a stretch of Dalton Hwy) • Use Past Crossing Locations • Assessment of Efficiency of Historic Routes • Synthetic River Cross Section • Work with Finer Detail Features (eg. Lakes) • If Algorithm can’t proceed, provide explanation • Grid too coarse • No valid routes
Notes from Day 1 • Ice Road Planning – Usage • Arrange meeting with Industry • Other industry contacts?
Notes from Day 1 • Tool Distribution • Make tool available for testing and feedback • Licensing • NSDSS Central Website
