Agenda

Background Project Look and feel of information QA/QC using FME Server Attribution using Workbench Moving forward Workspaces Questions

Background - York Region

Serving 1.1 million residents across 13 core businesses

9 Local area municipalities Operate & maintain approx.

1,100 km of roadway (>3,600 lane km)

Background

Bryan Bingham – GMT, GIS A.S. Educational background: 3 year GIS program at

Fleming College 5 Years GIS consulting experience NO PREVIOUS FME EXPERIENCE

Responsibilities at York Region Tasked with managing storm water asset data

collection project Ensure that asset registry is up to date for

consumption by Cityworks

Project

Transportation & Community Planning (TCP) is responsible for storm water assets in the Regional Road Right of Way (ROW)

Storm water assets currently stored in scanned design drawings

Video logging project created asset point locations Training and managing experienced surveyors to

use GIS and FME Server Ontario One Call for asset locates (End of 2013)

Look and Feel – Connect the Dots!

QA/QC Using FME Server

Uses series of Test Filter and Attribute Creator transformers

Each domain in the feature class is tested for adherence to the domain values

Non matching or null values are flagged and output to a CSV error log

CSV error logs are created for each user and lists errors by asset type

SELF SERVICE - Takes ~2-3 minutes to run

Attribution Using FME Workbench

Series of workbench documents General attribution

Road ID Conservation Area and Watershed Maintenance District Elevation (From DEM for points only) X & Y Location

Asset ID assignment Assigning upstream and downstream nodes

Calculates upstream and downstream obverts Move data from development to production

Moving Forward – Next Steps

Adding the remainder of asset types (roads, medians, pavement markings, etc.)

Continuing to evaluate and develop workbench models

Dynamically read and compare domains without having to enter values into transformers

Looking for opportunities where FME can assist with data management and transformations.
