Abstract
![]() Street Light Inventory Using Digital Photography and GPS Track: State and Local Government Author(s): Darren Rozenek, A.J. Romanelli, John Schiebold The City of Akron Ohio was faced with the need to inventory and spatially locate its street light assets in a short amount of time. Using a combination of technologies, the City was able to quickly and accurately complete a street light inventory of more than 25,000 poles. Field data capture was facilitated by GPS and digital photo/attribute capture. Short ramp up times for field workers and high data collection rates (one feature/minute) allowed the survey to be completed in three months. Office data management using ArcGIS, ArcSDE, and ASP completed the data collection loop. Darren Rozenek Akron Public Utilities Bureau Public Utilities 146 S.
