Abstract
Designing a WebGIS architecture for aviation impact assessment
Track: Technology Integration
Author
In aviation a lot of research is focussed on the assessment of environmental and anthropogenic impact, by modelling and monitoring sound and emission levels. Currently, the results of this research are assessed by aviation experts using a locally installed full scale GIS software package, while mainly viewing and basic analytic tools are required.
To be able to use a GIS as a truly supportive tool for these users thereby excluding non-essential functionality and offering easy web access, the NLR has developed a service-oriented WebGIS infrastructure based on Adobe Flex, ArcGIS Server components and generic SOAP/WSDL services.
The ArcGIS Server Flex API based RICH client offers users access to data processing and analysis functions implemented as SOAP services. Components related to user management (including security aspects like authentication and authorisation), data management and data conversion are developed and implemented by NLR.
