Abstract
Teaching Site Selection Techniques to Engineering Students Using ArcView GIS
Track: Universities and Higher Education
Author(s): Donald Leone
There is an abandoned railroad track between Union Station in Hartford, Connecticut, and Griffin Park in the Town of Bloomfield. The Griffin Line supported active rail and freight service between downtown Hartford and it's northwest neighborhoods and suburban communities from the late 1800s until the last freight service ended in 1982. Recent plans call for the use of the Griffin Line as a light-rail commuter transporter. Based on site defining criteria and data available from the State of Connecticut, students are asked to select candidate sites within the Town of Bloomfield for a commuter station using ArcView.
