Extraction of Tabular and Spatial Data from Microstation Files
Track: Urban and Regional Planning
Authors: Gabriel Blossom

Microstation files (dgn) are the primary file format used in designing the California High Speed Rail Project. A web application that utilizes FME server was created to facilitate database management, QAQC and file conversion. The web front end offers engineers a one-step dgn batch upload directly to a SQL SDE geodatabase. Uploaded/updated features are in turn represented in GIS web applications. Thus providing HSR stakeholders with the most up-to-date data possible.
