City of Boulder, Colorado, Transportation Information System: Customized ArcIMS Web Site
Track: Transportation
Author(s): Laurence Ferguson

This paper will outline the processes, work tasks and results obtained in creating an interactive ArcIMS Web site application for the City of Boulder, Colorado Transportation Department. This ArcIMS application went online November 19th, 2003 and displays both existing and proposed transportation geographic features and attributes (bike, pedestrian, transit, and auto). The Web site serves the dual role of providing accessible transportation information to the public and also functioning as a desktop geographic work tool for engineers, planners and developers to help them better understand the city's transportation system, policy plans, and infrastructure needs.

A portion of the paper will discuss the key roles ArcGIS and ArcSDE played in the GIS data development component of this project. The presentation will also address how Web programming code (Flash, Javascript, JSP, XML, and HTML) was utilized to customize the functionality and enhance the interface of this application.
