On Monday, Dec. 22, the advisory committee met at CTRE with
guests from DOT offices. The general objective of the meeting
was to discuss data flow requirements and responsibilities to
support the Location Tool as a component of Advantage Safety.
In attendance were:
Arlin Branhagen
Joyce Emery
John Nervig
Bill Schuman
Steve Vannoy
Mary Jensen, MVD
Rich Rothert, MVD
Pat Cain
Peggi Knight
Bill Lutz
Reg Souleyrette, CTRE
Dan Geiseman, CTRE
I will cc this to Tadd Geis, AMS
The intent of this email is to record action items from the
meeting.
Please respond with any comments or corrections you may have.
CTRE:
1) change color scheme for desktop version to match DOT mapping
standards.
Dan will discuss with Randy Patterson from TransData - by feb
9 pilot
2) develop code to allow the location tool to be set up for
either desktop
or field application (B&W) - by Feb 9 pilot
3) revise GIS-ALAS to work with standard advanatage safety
format (see ED
item below).
4) provide list of data layers, elements and projection requirements
for
loc-tool to Bill Schuman (see preliminary list below, to be
edited by Dan
Geiseman) - soon, well in advance of Feb 9
5) develop and test procedures for post or region-wide location
tool use
(speed/size of database required) - by Feb 9.
6) develop pop-up box for AKA information when road label is
questioned by
officer (or, for their general information)
7) develop literal description to populate crash report, using
distance
from if possible - feb 9/later
8) complete coding of location tool to use list of data provided
below, and
to default to appropriate levels of information open (e.g.,
rivers, yes/no, ...)
9) finish copde that passes relevant fields of info back to
advantage safety (location and base record elements)
10) long term, develop procedures so that location tool can
be used without advantage safety, for those agencies that have
not converted over yet. Q: how to link info to paper reports
(with direction by Rich Rothert) - later
11) finish testing and refining translator tool (xy to link-node)
MVD:
1) Mary will get list of counties comprising patrol posts and
enforcement
regions to Dan (email) - before Feb 9
2) Setup pilot for advantage safety/loc-tool - by Feb 9
ED:
1) Work with Dave Brown (lead), AMS, CTRE, MVD and others to
establish
standard output format for crash data coming out of Advantage
safety.
timing? - note: format in the interim to stay unchanged (will
not directly
support analysis tools)
AMS: (all by Feb 9)
1) develop code to allow selection of area to load to laptop
by county,
patrol post or enforcement regions
2) develop code to take ouitputs of loc-tool and populate crash
report form.
3) develop code to post process information coming out of officer
input
screen and location tool to provide database elements that
can be derived.
Intent is to allow locals to develop the same type of database
that the DOT
produces, that can then be used by GIS-ALAS and Access-ALAS.
Example is
selection of appropriate key route ID for intersection crashes,
using DOT
heuristic (after loc-tool passes both route ID's to advantage
safety)
4) develop feedback to officer if location tool fails to populate
any or
all fields it is supposed to (e.g., if no or inadequate literal
description
is passed back, or if any other fields are missing.) require
officer to
input literal description if no xy-route is produced.
GIS/Trans Data:
1) receive list of data layers, elements and projection requirements
for
loc-tool from CTRE. Provide data to CTRE so that CD can be
cut with data
and loc-tool software in time for Feb 9 pilot (see preliminary
list of data
below)
DRAFT! list of data elements (may contain duplicates, may be
missing items)
cartography: roads, hydro, muni and county boundaries, milepost
points,
rail crossing points, bridge points (segments?)
location attributes: 911 name, signed route, muni road name,
other base record key fields
road attributes: locality, type of traffic way, traffic flow,
surface type, speed limit, road class, route number/name, milepost,
roadway geometry projection: to be specified by Dan
