Transcription

1 [ DISTRIBUTING AVL USING ARCIMS The Chicago MAGIC Project ] GIS-T 2003 Colorado Springs presented by Louis Schoolkate Transportation Division Manager GeoAnalytics, Inc. 2002

2 [ Presentation Overview ] Project Background and Goals System Design Homeland security leveraging the investment The Application What we learned

3 Magic Project Purpose: to locate, monitor and communicate with City Vehicles in order to improve the efficiency and security of the City of Chicago fleet.

4 Project Background Phase 1 o o o June 2000: Magic Project startup : Wireless deployment : Development and testing of Prototype Phase 2 o o o Spring 2002: Start of Enhancement Project Summer/Fall 2002: Design and Implementation Winter 2002: Operational Rollout The first snowstorm

5 This Phases Goals Integrate the Magic System with City IT and GIS Needed to be scalable over time Reduce desktop support Currency and accuracy improvements Enhancements to onboard Vehicle security system Roll it all out before the snow flies!

6 MAGIC Interface Requirements Monitor fleet activities in real time Report on specific vehicles Query the system for vehicle operations data Incorporate two way messaging Monitor vehicles and provide proximity security alerts Include Playback and event archiving

7 Project Technology Challenges Oracle and SQL Server Databases Sun Solaris and MS Win2000 Operating Systems Proprietary Products Research Inc. (PRI) Vehicle location and Communications Technology Winter doesn t wait!

8 What we Delivered Real Time Locations of Chicago Vehicle Fleet to a browser Application Integrates Vehicle Location system with ArcSDE Spatial Database Security Alert system reports vehicle proximity alerts Full playback and reporting capabilities

9 Spatial Component Highlights ESRI ArcIMS 4.0 with ArcSDE 8.2 on the Oracle Sun Solaris server Middleware components using Java Stored Procedures HTML Browser client XML communications

11 MAGIC System Components

12 How it all works

13 The MAGIC AVL application

14 Navigation Capabilities

15 Vehicle Tracking

16 Vehicle Tracking

17 Two Way Messaging System

18 Archiving and Playback

19 Proximity Alert Security Feature

20 What we Learned AVL system design and deployment requires interoperability across multiple systems Look at as many major design alternatives as possible in the early stages Evaluate third party software/tools against the key requirements, especially system level such as fail-over scenarios, not just functional requirements

21 What we Learned Get to know client environment prior to final deployment environment issues can be a problem Stress testing before rollout is important for 24x7 mission critical applications of this type Need to think about scalability of solution to cover other business areas This is Cool Technology!

22 Future efforts Currently looking at ASP model for vehicle data feed to eliminate maintenance and administration of AVL backend components Looking to apply this technology to vehicles operating at O Hare
