Abstract

Signs, Signs, Everywhere There's Signs - Covington Asset Management Project
Track: Public Works
Authors: Joseph Busemeyer

The presentation describes the process of creating an Asset Management Inventory for the City of Covington, Kentucky, by using ArcPad on Trimble GPS units for collecting points and information for specific assets (city maintained signs, sidewalk and curb damaged areas, ADA curb ramps and sidewalk basements). Also discussed are how ArcMap is used by field collectors to plan data collection routes; and how sidewalks were digitized using ortho and oblique imagery. Issues, such as, weak GPS signals, GPS memory limitations, ArcStudio form design space, hardware malfunctions and field data collection issues are discussed so others can learn from our experiences. The results of the project are included in the presentation, as well as, how the resulting data is being used by the City of Covington.
