Farallon Geographics Implements Enterprise GIS for Town of Woodside and Integrates It with StreetSaver Pavement Management System (PMS)
Summary
“We recognized that if we could present the tabular PMS results in a more intuitive and familiar format, like a map, we could more easily make use of StreetSaver’s capabilities.” said Eunejune Kim, Deputy Town Engineer, “This would allow both managers and technicians to see where maintenance efficiencies might be gained”.For visual display, GIS street data is dynamically segmented into paving sections using the StreetSaver database at the time the user requests the information.Town staff can now perform spatial analysis and StreetSaver queries, allowing them to quickly create maps showing the extent of distressed streets and proposed pavement treatments.They needed a visual PMS.“We recognized that if we could present the tabular PMS results in a more intuitive and familiar format, like a map, we could more easily make use of StreetSaver’s capabilities.” said Eunejune Kim, Deputy Town Engineer, “This would allow both managers and technicians to see where maintenance efficiencies might be gained”.Farallon developed a solution to import StreetSaver information to the Town’s GIS.For visual display, GIS street data is dynamically segmented into paving sections using the StreetSaver database at the time the user requests the information.
