August 23, 2018 Presentations 1:30 p.m. – 2:30 p.m.

ESRI’s Building BlocksMichael Kohler, GIS Administrator - City of Port St LucieRoom 2A

The City of Port St Lucie has been building GIS Systems that leverage a wide range of ESRI technologies. From collectors to surveys and ArcObjects to the Web API’s, our system architects rely on ESRI products to create unique solutions tailored for each business process. Making maps with Desktop and Pro, deploying solutions from ArcPro, leveraging 3d in Pro and on the web with the JavaScript 4.x API, creating Add-Ins for Desktop and Pro, integration of new GIS process within non-GIS applications in the .Net framework using the .Net api and the Rest API, the City is truly building with ESRI bricks.

Several recent solutions will be highlighted in this presentation and will focus on using ESRI API’s for integration of GIS processes into existing business systems. The City’s ias Accredited Building Department is recognized as one of the Top 25 Building Departments in the world. Part of this success is due to the in-house development of the PANDA Online Permitting Application. A portion of the presentation will show how GIS is being used to make permit inspections more efficient and friendly with ESRI technology.

Flying Geo-Spatially – Enterprise GIS Development at FLLMichell Carter, GIS Project manager - Broward County AviationTim Lesser - Arora Engineers Inc.Room 2B

The Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) is leveraging GIS technology throughout the enterprise with collaborative and continuous development of data and web/mobile applications utilizing Portal, ArcGIS Online, and Collector.

Mapping applications/processes to be discussed include terminal floor plans and amenities, residential noise mitigation and sales assistance, airport properties, utilities, and airside mobile data collection that can benefit other airports’ GIS advancement.

19


Sign Management using CollectorDellis Stanberry, Roadway Inventory Coordinator for the Maintenance Department Office (DMO) - FDOT District FourAmber Hyer, GIS Coordinator - FDOT District FourRoom 2C

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Maintenance Office needed an effective way to manage the thousands of FDOT maintained signs in District Four after a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solution was recently sunset after licensing costs proved to be prohibitive. Thousands of signs had already been collected by this application and many more still needed to be collected and subsequently managed moving forward at a reduced cost. To harness the existing ESRI platform in use throughout the District, the GIS Section created an application based on ESRI’s Collector template, allowing users to collect sign data in the field using disconnected mobile devices.

The functionality of the application can be expanded to include other assets such as guardrail, attenuators, etc. The hardest part of deploying a successful software solution is the quality of the up-front requirements gathering and post deployment plans to ensure acceptance by the end user community. Implementing the technology portion of the project was the least challenging part. Ensuring the data was structured properly and had the required fields and data type was the most arduous part of the project.

This presentation demonstrates how GIS helped to reduce costs and promote data quality using in-house resources in conjunction with ArcGIS Online functionality.

FIU/UF Sea level rise Web GIS ApplicationsZhaohui Jennifer Fu, Head of GIS Center - Florida International UniversityHenry Hochmair, Associate Professor - University of FloridaSheyla Santana, Research Associate GIS/RS Center - Florida International UniversityRoom 2F

Sea level rise (SLR), due to climate change, is a major threat to South Florida communities. Federal, state, and local government agencies have taken action to monitor, project, and plan for this change. Development of resilient communities against sea level rise has become a priority at all levels of planning.

The Florida International University GIS Center teamed up with Sea Level Rise experts and scientists from Florida International University and University of Florida to develop several tools that inform citizens about the potential impact of sea levels rise in South Florida. Currently, the City of Coral Gables is a funding partner on one of the current projects.

This presentation will focus on two applications. First it will demonstrate the Sea Level Rise application tool that FIU’s GIS Center developed for the Center FIU School of Journalism’s Eyes On the Rise initiative (http://www.eyesontherise.org/). Second, it will present some analyses and maps as part of the Sea Level Rise Impact Planning tool for Coral Gables. The tool allows to map the flooding of areas in response to different scenarios of sea level rise and storm surge and to assess the impact of these hazards on various urban domains including infrastructure, land cover and land use, vegetation, properties, businesses, vulnerable populations, pollution sources, and institutions (e.g. schools, universities).

The presentation will discuss some of the data sources and GIS methods that are used to develop this tool. By accurately measuring and locating areas of vulnerability, the city can better plan and invest for the development of a resilient community, and secure the long-term interest and quality of life for its citizens. Other aspects of the SLR tool that are addressed in this presentation include a 3D visualization of SLR for Coral Gables.

The Synergistic Approach: Asset Management and GISDinorah Sanches, AMS Subject Matter Expert - CityworksRoom 2C

With the pressure to provide excellent services under constrained budgets, municipalities are adopting Asset Management as the synergistic framework combining strategic and financial planning, levels of service and risk-based analysis to determine investments. But, what is asset management, couple it with GIS, and how can your organization benefit?

First, the Asset Management Framework will be reviewed, along with covering the benefits. Data requirements will be reviewed, along with the key role GIS professionals play in the asset management journey. Lastly, by adapting the initial components for your organization, resident expectations are managed, levels of service delivered, risk mitigated, and crews improve their operations.

This session will empower your organization to tackle asset management and drive a robust and strategic, decision making process.

Lauderdale GISHaiting Huang, Application Developer - City of Fort LauderdaleRoom 2D

It’s finally becoming the reality that the City of Fort Lauderdale Enterprise GIS infrastructure is up-rooting from the on premise data centers and migrating to the latest ArcGIS Enterprise Architecture in the Microsoft Azure Cloud environment with High Availability.

I’m happy to share with the GIS community on everything technical including but not limited to preparation, prerequisites, system requirements, pricing and budgeting, the relationship with ESRI Small Municipal and County Government Enterprise Agreement Programs, system design, tools, cooperation and coordinating with other stakeholders, implementation, access to the servers, tips and tricks, and lessons learned.

The changes of the GIS infrastructure to the ArcGIS Enterprise Architecture are not limited to the software, the hardware, or the computing environment, but fundamentally a new generation of ArcGIS - a collaborating Enterprise GIS in the Cloud – evolved from the Server GIS and more remotely the Desktop GIS. I hope my shared knowledge could help the local GIS community better prepared embracing the new work environment of ArcGIS.

LiDAR – What’s the Point?Rick Wallace - Quantum SpatialMark Meade, Chief Technology Officer - Quantum SpatialRoom 2F

With higher and higher point density being desired and newer sensor technologies making it possible, the question becomes – What’s the Point?

Newer LiDAR technologies are accomplishing this while containing cost and keeping the data sets manageable. Increased point density data sets continue to aid in the ability to collect features from the above ground portions of the point cloud.

What are these additional features and their value gained from a wider range of constituents? To help the discussion and possibly answer these questions, let’s see how the latest LiDAR systems provide efficient collection of high-density point clouds, adding value both to the bare earth layer as well above ground features.

34


Centimeter Accuracy GPS/GIS on Your Smartphone or TabletRich Ash, Founder - GeoMobile InnovationsRoom 2A

High-accuracy GPS/GNSS is changing a lot. Mobile devices have changed a lot. Now, GIS field technicians are able to use their iPhones, iPads and Android devices to collect centimeter-accurate GNSS data instead of using expensive, bulky hand-held GNSS data collectors.

High-accuracy GNSS is more affordable and available than ever before in history, both horizontal and vertical. Mobile GIS software is more affordable and available than every before in history, both horizontal and vertical. It’s a powerful combination.

35


Monitoring forest cover change at the Lobéké National Park in South-East Cameroon using GIS and Remote sensing techniquesYisa Ginath Yuh, PhD Student - University of Quebec at Rimouski (UQAR)Room 2B

Alterations in forest cover indirectly affects wildlife and impact climate change. Thus, monitoring forest cover change can help provide conservation practitioners with baseline information for developing long term mitigative measures.

This study aimed at documenting the changes in forest cover that had occurred at the Lobéké National Park in South-East Cameroon, between the years 2001-2014. Landsat Thematic Mapper images of South-East Cameroon for the years 2001 and 2014 were acquired from glovis.usgs.gov. Multi layer band stack was done and an area of interest comprising of the Lobéké National Park extracted, pre-processed for atmospheric correction and processed through supervised classification and change detection. Five land cover categories were deduced (dense forests, swampy forests, deforested patches, grass and lowland vegetation, and rivers).

The results showed that, within the course of 13 years, dense forests and swampy forests have reduced by 403.6 km2 and 174.2 km2 while deforested patches as well as grassland and low vegetation have increased by 1275.5 km2 and 330.1 km2 respectively. Rivers recorded no change. Validation in forest cover change (dense and swampy forest) results with global forest cover data, showed a 69% total forest cover at the park, when applied the FAO and Irish forests service definitions of forest.

Utility Engineering & GIS - How to Make Your Stars AlignNicole McPherson, GISP, GIS Manager - Village of WellingtonLuis Rivera, Utilities GIS - Village of WellingtonBradley C. Wolak, P.E., PMP, Assistant Utilities Director - Village of WellingtonJames Barton P.E., President - Florida Technical ConsultantsRoom 2D

The core dilemma faced by all traditional Utilities Departments desiring to go all-in on GIS for operational management and administration, rises and falls based on the specific roadmap selected for data collection, organization and synthesis.

The natural tension that exists between Utility Engineers, GIS professionals and Management can create obstacles to developing a fully functional Utilities GIS platform, truly useful for operational management and maintenance, regulatory compliance, and enterprise level strategic planning and decision making.

Wellington has used a unique, pragmatic approach to alleviate this tension by taking a “field first” approach to building out its asset data set from a very low base. By empowering operational field crews as the primary data collectors we have seen higher levels of user adoption and ongoing participation which in turn ensures the timely availability of field information providing the best chances for successful operational management and enterprise level strategic planning and decision making. Time will be allotted for an interactive question and answer period immediately following the presentation.

Operations Dashboard – a powerful tool to support SFWMD’s Emergency Management and OperationsLacri Ursu, Geographer - South Florida Water Management DistrictSean Williams - South Florida Water Management DistrictRoom 2F

Throughout the year, SFWMD Operations and Maintenance staff oversee approximately 2,100 miles of canals and 2,000 miles of levees/berms, 71 pump stations and more than 600 water control structures and 625 project culverts. With specialized expertise, they maintain all the equipment to en-sure this vast water management system is ready to manage flood control during and after summer rainstorms, tropical storms or major hurricanes.

During times of disaster and emergency recovery, it is important to have open lines of communication between field staff and various other mana-gerial and technical support to accomplish the tasks needed to keep the system functioning.

To accomplish this, the District utilizes WebEOC software, as the emergency management tool. WebEOC it’s a web-based Incident Management system used to manage, track, and respond to emergency disasters. The District staff enters these missions into the program, information such as location, deployments, purchase orders and reports associated with the mission which can be viewed in real time. Operations Dashboard (an ArcGIS Online application) uses the feature ser-vice produced in the WebEOC to visualize these missions in a summarized format.

“Mobile “ Using a COTS Survey123 App to Improve Operational Efficien-cy of an Exotic Python Removal Program in the EvergladesAmy Peters, Geographer - South Florida Water Management District Michael Kirkland, Manager Python Elimination Program - SWMDRoom 2B

The invasive Burmese python (Python bivittatus) and other invasive constrictor species are decimating native populations of mammals and birds in the Florida Everglades at a rate that jeopardizes billions of tax payer dollars that have been spent on restoration. Land Resource managers at the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) selected twenty-five (25) of the most qualified python hunters in the state to participate in a bounty program designed to reduce the population of these invasive species and augment existing management efforts. The project manager of the SFWMD Python Elimination Program was spending too much time processing and transposing paper datasheets from the contracted python hunters into an electronic database. Additionally, data quality was impacted by inconsistent datasheet entry by the hunters.

The IT Geospatial Services group was contacted to assist with the creation of a more efficient work flow, and ESRI’s Survey123 mobile app was selected as the appropriate data collection tool to accomplish this. Reasons for selecting this app included: easy installation for Apple or Android; simplistic form-based design that saves time and paper; standardization of input data; and photo documentation support. Configuring a survey using the Survey123 Connect app also provides the means to securely collect crowd sourced data within the mobile app, keeping in mind that all data collected by SFWMD is public record and not secured in the Cloud. After deploying the survey and returning data to the hosted service, dashboards were created as a means of communicating analytics to both program participants and SFWMD managers.

The outcome of choosing this work flow and applying it to an ecological problem has resulted in more accurate capture-site coordinates, a streamlined accounting process, overall improved data quality, and the availability of real-time information, which has led to better communication amongst management, the hunters, and partnering agencies.

Operational Insights for Utilities Tom Tibbitts, Information Systems Coordinator - St. Johns County UtilitiesMark Nelson - Jones Edmunds Room 2D

St. John’s County Utilities needed to prioritize their most critical assets for inspections, rehabilitation, repair and/or replacement. The Utility leveraged the latest AMS and GIS technologies to stretch their budget and establish a tool for ongoing assessments they can perform in-house at any time as assets are renewed or replaced.

The challenges they faced included is three part; the first is quality data, and often “big data”, the second is the ability to effectively analyze the data, and the third is developing maintenance strategies to increase the assets life.

This presentation will demonstrate how we leveraged Cityworks Operational Insights and Insights for ArcGIS to identify, assess and visualize high risk assets and their supporting maintenance strategies. Together, these tools provide for continuous update of asset Risk of Failure and Consequence of Failure scores and a means to immediately implement new maintenance strategies on high risk assets.

“What’s the status of our system?” ESRI’s Collector and Dashboard Applications Streamline Post-storm Assessment and CommunicationDave Sabin, System Specialist - Loxahatchee River DistricRoom 2A

Asset status and condition assessment after a significant storm event is critical for utility providers. The efficient data collection on asset condition, and the exchange of that information, is essential for effectively managing the situation. The Loxahatchee River District (LRD) is a regional wastewater utility in northern Palm Beach County. In 2017, LRD staff implemented a pilot project during Hurricane Irma and quickly realized the benefits ESRI’s data collection and dashboard tools provided. Having centralized information helped managers make informed decisions on allocating resources such as staff generators, and vac-trucks.

Building on the experiences from Irma, LRD set out to expand the toolset to streamline data collection for the field crews in both connected and disconnected environments, as well as enhance the dashboard tools to provide more detailed information to managers. Using ESRI’s Collector and Dashboard applications, LRD staff and their consultants were able to develop a highly functional system in a short time at a relatively low cost.

These new tools provide LRD staff with valuable and timely information to help them provide their customers the best service possible, even during challenging situations.

Utilizing Multiple LiDAR Platforms for Asset AllocationEmily Zeilberger, GIS Specialist - Wantman GroupJim Sullivan- Wantman GroupRoom 2C

Project: The City of Lake Worth required the inventory and locations of approximately 12,000 city owned and maintained light poles and their attachments in just 1.5 months. A citywide asset inventory of this magnitude involves issues with data management, accessibility, and timeliness of data collection. An updated inventory will assist the city with improved pole management and utility agency owner(s) lease contacts, mitigating losses in revenue and ownership conflicts.

Approach: Using mobile LiDAR, we ran tracks through the designated Zones (1-8) provided by the City of Lake Worth to complete a mobile mapping and survey solution that collects detailed design data at highway speeds. Collecting XX miles of data using conventional survey methods would have tripled the schedule for completion. Pole locations and Google Earth-style Street view imagery is also collected simultaneously with the scan data without getting out of the car to collect, resulting in the 12,000 poles being located in just 7 days.

Technicians then processed the tracks using ArcGIS explorer (w/Leica Pegasus Viewer Add-In) and ArcMap Desktop. Still frame photos were retrieved from the Pegasus viewer street view imagery of each individual pole and its attachments. Quality Checks were performed for obscured and inaccessible areas along with select poles for verification.

Result: Each zone was divided into separate geodatabases for maximum technician use and eventually merged into one geodatabase of attachments and other relevant attributes. Our findings showed multiple poles and attachments not currently in the Lake Worth’s database, as well removals of poles in the database. The city was given a combined File Geodatabase of all city owned and maintained light poles and their corresponding photos.

Use of Geographical Paratransit Data to Augment Transportation Planning Zev Naiditch, Paratransit General Manager - Transportation AmericaRoom 2E

Historically, paratransit trips may represent 1 to 2 percent of transit agencies total trips; while paratransit may cost as much as 10 times is relative proportion. However, most agencies use techniques to add/modify/and reduce fixed route without review or consideration of paratransit data. As paratransit trips start and end up to 3 quarters of a mile from fixed route, or even farther, in the case of Miami-Dade, agencies can utilize the wealth of geographical big data available from their respective paratransit systems. As a result, paratransit costs can be reduced, while fixed route ridership can increase.

Data reviewed will cover Paratransit trips and performance data within specific buffers or areas as it relates to fixed route stop points. Areas will be identified that may yield an increase of fixed route ridership, and/or reduced Paratransit costs. Additionally, a geographically targeted technique for Paratransit travel training will be covered.

Lost in Space: Maintaining data integrity with mobile GIS SolutionsLeah Newman, DevOps Architect - Hydromax USARoom 2F

Modern day asset tracking is transitioning from a two dimensional “spreadsheet view” to four dimensional, spatiotemporal asset management. Near-real time data allows utilities to find and address problems before they become detrimental to an entire system and mobile solutions make it easier to capture more data than ever before. But data density, if not managed properly, can be both a blessing and a curse. One typo can be the difference between a successful valve repair and an accidental water shortage, making data integrity more integral than ever.

During this presentation we’ll demonstrate ways to leverage ESRI’s mobile solutions and web applications to maintain data integrity on the backend, and keep a consistent and intuitive user interface on the front end. By tailoring each solution to your company’s needs you can increase productivity while limiting room for inconsistencies in data. We’ll focus on four ESRI products, Survey123, Workforce, Web AppBuilder, and Collector, addressing use cases for each and sharing tips on streamlining workflows across the platform.
