Improving Communities Using ArcGIS, GPS, and Hansen
Track: State and Local Government
Author(s): Kim Roden, Brian Wienke

Three months to deadline, understaffed and underfinanced, Martin County, Florida's Engineering Department used Esri GIS, backpack GPS units, Hansen's Roadway module, and Hansen's GIS integration solutions to identify infrastructure elements and associated attributes and analyze data on map that led to a successful community enhancement project. This paper presentation will describe the Martin County's data collection process, using ArcGIS, backpack GPS and mobile mapping systems, and Hansen's information management system, and the role this technology integration played in the success of the project. Through this integration, and from the maps generated, council quickly approved funding and the department repaired, replaced, and retrofitted streetlights, sidewalks, drainage facilities, pavement markings, and road surfaces.
