Abstract

Using ArcGIS Server to Improve Road Safety
Track: Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice
Authors: Robert Schultz

RCMP E Division Traffic Services provides enforcement and investigative services to improve public safety on the roadways of British Columbia. To help meet this mandate the Information Management & Technology Branch worked with Traffic Services to developed an ArcGIS server application that allows officers to query collision and enforcement data, identify causal factors and target the type of enforcement required to reduce collisions. We will discuss the business requirements that drove the project, the advantages and challenges of using an enterprise solution and demonstrate how the Traffic Explorer allows officers to easily query the data, analyze the results and generate maps.
