1 GIS and High efficiency routingRachelle Benken, GISP, PhD Candidate Supervisor – GIS, Brevard Public Schools FAPT Summer Conference, June 22, 2016
2 Topics in this presentationGot GIS? What is GIS? Spatially Charged
3 Got GIS?
4 If you Route you have GISRouting in a routing system Routing in Excel and Word Routing on paper with push pins and rubber bands
5 Do you have GPS? (active or passive)GPS is a major source of GIS data AVL systems displaying Buses in motion are GIS interfaces
6 Google maps Google earthDo you use Google Maps or Google Earth to do quick address look-ups? 2-mile walk address checks
7 What is gis? Geographic Information Systems
8 Data with Location Address Latitude/Longitude CoordinatesState Plane Feet Coordinates Three word addresses
9 Displays data in a map Also displays data in tabular reports and graphs Management dashboards can be driven with static or live data. Data can be in time series or video format
10 Ask Questions of the data
11 Representation of the real worldPOINTS - Bus Stops LINES - Routes POLYGONS – Attendance boundaries ‘SMART’ POINTS – Elevation (X,Y,Z) ‘SMART’ LINES’ – Networked Roads RASTER or GRIDED DATA
12 How does the information interact spatiallyGIS helps answer questions quicker and more completely in order to help make better decisions faster. Feeder plans Walk boundaries Attendance Boundaries Field trip planning
13 Spatially charged! How GIS can aid in Efficient routing
14 Faster way to 2 mile limits
15 Special routing Food trucks for free summer food programsShuttle routs for day camp
16 Nearest compound Which compound to park the bus at?Is there enough capacity at each compound?
17 Fresh eyes “Cleanse your Data” Re-establish stops RunsBuild tiered routes
18 Start your buses Getting Started in Geographic Information Systems
19 Software options ESRI ArcGIS Quantum GIS (QGIS)
20 Education / training optionsOnline College certificates ( FAU/UWF/UF) ESRI Training Youtube GIS College Interns
21 A suggested path ESRI – Academic LicensingSome school districts have Site licences ArcGIS Desktop and ArcOnline ESRI – online training MOOCs - UWF Introduction to GIS, ESRI College Intern – Tutor and create data and maps A suggested path
