NYSDOT's Winter Traveler Advisory: A High Volume Real-Time ArcIMS Site Track: Transportation Author(s): Frank Winters, Kevin Hunt The Winter Traveler Advisory is NYSDOT's first ArcIMS Web site intended for public use. The Web site publishes real time winter road conditions collected by the snow plow drivers as they work. Because of the high volume and availability requirements the system employs a redundant ArcIMS configuration as well as our first ArcSDE production instance. This paper will cover the data collection interface, system architecture, and database design as well as an easy to use diagnostics tool developed to streamline system troubleshooting and maintenance by support staff. We will cover the challenges faced building a secure and stable system as well as the rewards reaped from the first hand experience.
