Abstract

Resource Allocation Forecasting and GIS
Track: Architecture, Engineering, and Construction
Authors: Victor de Loza

The purpose of this project was to develop a system to aid the allocation of resources in construction projects. The developed system uses Excel, Oracle, ArcGIS desktop and ArcGIS online. Excel data is extracted using both VBA and Python, stored in Oracle, layers created in ArcGIS desktop, and layers visualized in ArcGIS online. Cross-platform data transfer is automatic. The system enables management to visualize their construction projects and resources both geographically and temporally.
