2 The City of Garland, Texas, population 221,000 has implemented a custom Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) system, backboned by ESRI ESRI s ArcIMS and Geocortex IMF, into its Water Utilities field operations. How the System Started The City of Garland GIS department has been using ESRI ESRI s ArcIMS and Geocortex IMF to distribute GIS data throughout the organization for 4 years. Currently, the Interactive Map is use organization for 4 years. Currently, the Interactive Map is use d by 200 users in 15 departments. Once the water utility data was converted into GIS format (initially as shape files and now as features in ArcSDE ArcSDE ), and displayed in ArcIMS ArcIMS interactive map, the water department deployed in interactive map, the water department deployed in vehicle Mobile DigitaTerminals (MDT) to diminish the need for paper maps. maps.

3 How the System Started (cont.) The next step taken by the Water department was to find a way to integrate its work management system with an AVL and ArcIMS. This was made possible by the introduction of ArcSDE and a set o This was made possible by the introduction of ArcSDE and a set o f custom tools developed in conjunction with Latitude Geographics to be used with ArcIMS to be used with ArcIMS based mapping applications (Geocortex IMF). The AVL system sets as part of the city The AVL system sets as part of the city s GIS Interactive Mapping System (ArcIMS and Geocortex IMF) and is displayed via a browser for Water Utility interaction.
