Road centerlines rank second only to tax parcels in their versatility for supporting local government operations. The experts at geographIT® offer you GIS software and data models that make centerlines center stage. The results put your organization on the road to innovation and productivity.
- Cartography: Create maps labeled with road names, highway shields labeled with route numbers, and roads symbolized for the motoring public. A well-symbolized road map is essential to public access Web sites promoting tourism and economic development.
- Address-match with road-name alias: Find the correct address location using any road name variant with alias geo-coding. Perhaps the official road name spelling differs from the street sign. Maybe the road name is a numbered street sometimes spelled out, or a named road also has a traffic route number. No problem!
- Master Street Address Guide (MSAG) reconciliation: Improve the quality of your centerline road names and the accuracy of your MSAG file by reconciling the two data sets. Once reconciled, you can use the road centerline file to generate an up-to-date MSAG file for scrubbing telephone company addresses of land lines.
- Linear Referencing System (LRS): Add state department of transportation's (DOT) LRS framework attributes to map DOT data and plan improvements to increase public safety or reduce congestion. Also provide locally generated roadway information such as traffic counts back to the state DOT using the same LRS framework attributes. This win-win data exchange benefits all parties!
- Vehicle routing: Benefit from vehicle-routing solutions the way E911 routes emergency vehicles. Consider a sheriff serving multiple bench warrants each day, a social service worker conducting several home visits in one afternoon, an engineer inspecting weights and measures at service stations, or a para-transit agency picking up and discharging passengers on-demand. The potential savings in fuel and labor stand to offset the expense of adding this functionality to a road centerline dataset.
- Service-area modeling: Evaluate response zones and service areas for existing or planned facilities based on travel time or distance. Planning the location for a new emergency evacuation center, library, school, senior center or district court house needs to account for the number of people that can be served within a certain time or distance from the planned facility. Service-area modeling puts this information at your fingertips.
