2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
 Innovative Street Data Capture and Dissemination Using GIS Track: Transportation Author(s): Mike Youngs, Vikas Srivastava The Street Transportation Department has developed several GIS applications to facilitate collection of street assets. One example is the Pavement Capture Application. When Streets are resurfaced in the city of Phoenix, Street Maintenance staff are required to go to the field and measure the area to be resurfaced using a wheel. The measurements are used to estimate the amount of material needed to complete the resurfacing project. The process of taking manual measurements in the field is labor intensive, time consuming, and sometimes dangerous. The Street Transportation Department saw an opportunity to develop a customized ArcGIS 8.3 application that allows street maintenance staff to make measurements of street areas using highly accurate aerial photos. The application allows Street Maintenance staff to digitize the area of a resurfacing project and store important project details in a relational database. The application has eliminated the need to field measure every resurfacing project.
