Abstract
 Spatial Tools Development at Central Washington University Track: Application Development Author(s): Robert Hickey, Timothy Barnhart This year's CWU GIS assistant is a programmer whose secondary duties include building ArcGIS extensions using ArcObjects COM interfaces and Microsoft Visual C++. One extension generates erosion modeling datasets (max downhill slope angle, slope length, and RUSLE LS factor) that continues a series of AML-based programs that have been available since 1994. A second extension is a collection of utility analyses that are not available in existing Esri software, including calculating line orientations and extracting x,y coordinates from point files. Another extension is a solar glare hazard calculator which estimates whether or not glare was a factor affecting a driver based upon time of day, time of year, and the direction a driver is facing. Each extension uses shapefiles or grids as inputs (geodatabase version in the future) and will be quickly demonstrated at the conference.
