Abstract

Field Survey Planning in Remote Areas using Imagery and Route Analysis
Track: Network Analysis
Authors: Simon Ross, Brett Shaver

Field surveys in remote areas can be challenging to plan and execute safely due to poor quality of local road data and hazard locations. This presentation will focus on planning field surveys for an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) conducted in Turkey. Satellite imagery was acquired and a road network was created and shared with the project team on a Web-GIS viewer. Network analyst tools were used for route optimization and delivery of maps, tabular summaries and GPS data to the field teams
