We recently proposed a solution for Road Status and Damage Assessment using the ArcGIS Platform to respond to events. This video is a demonstration of that workflow and highlights the ability of ArcGIS mobile applications to integrate and work together to provide organizations with a solution to answer the following questions: What assets are damaged? Where are the assets? Are work orders issued? Are repair crews assigned? How many work orders are completed? How many work orders are not completed How many work orders are past due? All of the applications in this demonstration were configured and can be reconfigured for any unique workflows. The form was based on requirements from New York State DOT and the damage assessment form can be swapped out for FHWA or any custom State DOT specific damage assessment form. The applications are commercial off the shelf and fully supported by Esri. Even the notification framework used to notify me that a new work order was generated uses the new Survey123 Webhooks. We even created a work order in WorkForce for ArcGIS using webhooks. All in all, not one single line of code was written to support this workflow. If you have questions don't hesitate to reach out to anyone on the Esri Transportation Practice. Keith King Sean Dolan Gary Waters ... View more

有时you have WebMaps you don't want Collector for ArcGIS to see. Here is a simple workflow to hide WebMaps from Collector for ArcGIS so they don't show up in your list of available editable WebMaps. Go to ArcGIS Online Assistant and sign in Click on the I want to... drop-down on the top bar and select View an Item's JSON Use the list of folders down the left-hand side to find the map you want to hide from Collector When you select your map, JSON from the WebMap description should display in the main panel Click the Edit pencil, in the upper right of the WebMap description and find the line in the "typeKeywords" section near the top that says "Collector," and delete it Save.# ...

The Materials Management Solution for ArcGIS is a set of configurable commercial off the shelf applications that have been organized to support the coordination of field-based materials testing such as performing Slump of Hydraulic Concrete testing or sample collection. The app allows us to schedule testing at project sites or sample collection from suppliers and plants who provide construction materials for DOT road improvement projects. Technicians can access sample test forms to input test results and report feedback or they can use a form to collect samples that are shipped back to a DOT or Contractor lab for further testing. Notifications can be sent to the labs to let the technicians know that new samples are on their way and when samples arrive, technicians can launch into the testing procedures and record the test results. When testing is complete the results can be updated and notifications can be sent to suppliers, contractors and project managers so they know the test results and can act appropriately. Finally, all of the results can be shared via Operations Dashboards where we can visualize test results, projects, and technician activity. ... View more

我很兴奋的给测量员的集成ey123 with Spike by Ike GPS. This paring enables you to turn your iPhone or Android phone into a laser range finder with Spike. Integration with Survey123 allows me to capture, GPS coordinates, distance to target, area, length and a few other measurements. It enables me to capture data 6' up to 324' away which means I can stand at one end of a football field and capture GPS coordinates of an asset at the other end. I think, sign inventory, culverts, drains, ADA curb ramps, crash cushions, concrete walls, control fence, and bridges are ideal candidates for an inventory or inspection with Survey123. While concrete walls and control fencing are usually modeled as linear features, Survey123 could capture related tables with locations where fences or walls need to be repaired. While this is in Beta you can sign up for the as a beta tester and start working with it today which I'm sure Ismael Chivite and his team would love to get as much feedback as they can. My video editing prowess was certainly challenged today, as a result I'm uploading the videos as 4 separate videos. I was also able to make use of the iOS screen recording capability which was cool. If you have questions please don't hesitate to reach out... thanks. Here is a link to the Survey123 survey I used for this demo.

Good morning, here is the last video in the series on ditributed collaboration and 511. This workflow is still a prototype and has some scalability testing to go through after the new year. I want to at least make you all aware of what we are working on and show you how 511 workflows could be enhanced to take data directly from the enterprise and pushed into the Transportation 511 solution or even the Waze Connected Citizens Program.

的头发我的下颚突出的下巴下巴……这是Tuesday video I promised. In this video, I show how distributed collaboration can be used to support mobile workflows in ArcGIS Online. Hosted feature services living in ArcGIS Online can participate in collaboration where the data captured is written down to Portal for ArcGIS. The data can then live in the relational data store or it can be exported out and appended to an enterprise Geodatabase. To keep the Lego theme going, I use Survey123 and its ability to support existing features and related tables. It makes for a complex workflow, and it tests my patience. You'll see in the video when I go out to Pro to see the attached image, it is not there but what I forgot about was the fact that I'm waiting on a full resolution picture to make its way from ArcGIS Online to the Portal. Of course, it shows up as soon as I stop recording. Anyways, I hope you enjoy and please send questions my way if you think of any. ... View more

Hope the holiday season is treating everyone well. As we get ready to turn the page on 2017 and prepare for the soon to be released ArcGIS 10.6 and the December release of ArcGIS Online (12/6). I'm planning to release a series of videos this week on technology that exists today that I think can have a major impact on how DOT's utilize the ArcGIS Platform. I've chosen workflows that are relatively easy to set up and use Keith King's famous Lego block analogy. If Keith has come to your DOT this year you know what I'm talking about. For those of you who don't know. It goes like this, Esri’s apps (Collector, Web App Builder, Survey 123, Solutions, ArcGIS Pro etc.) work great by themselves and depending on the app, they are very simple to use. Legos are very simple, come in all different shapes and sizes and can be interconnected to form complex objects. Just like Legos, our apps can be interconnected and can be used to build complex workflows. The videos I share this week will be based on that premise. I'll take concepts of the platform and applications to support my explanation and build complex workflows. Today's video shows how Distributed Collaboration can be used to share data from ArcGIS Enterprise (Portal for ArcGIS) to ArcGIS Online for use with ArcGIS Hub sharing to an Open Data Site. Enjoy! ... View more

I've had several discussions with DOT's from around the U.S. about the growing interest in the use of drones. Drones have a significant advantage over traditional aerial photography and LiDAR capture in that they are inexpensive, generally easy to fly and they can come equipped with a camera and LiDAR sensor. We are seeing drones used to capture change detection along construction projects, culvert inspections, and bridge inspections. Other emerging use cases include damage assement, land/rock slide geo-technical inspections, visibility analysis, and rail crossing inspections. Drone to Map for ArcGIS supports the uses of drones and allows users to analyze and store the data captured from a drone directly into ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise as web services. Drone to Map for ArcGIS can produce to types of web services. Integrated Mesh Scene Layer and Point Cloud Scene Layer. Point Cloud Scene Layers allow the viewer to look through objects like tunnels and culverts. If your LiDAR vendor is actively collecting data using mobile, terrestrial or aerial LiDAR, be sure to request that they deliver the data with RGB point symbiology attributes. Many LiDAR vendors are not doing this but are starting to, this allows the point cloud to be displayed using true color, making the point cloud look more realistic. Density of the points matters as does resolution of the sensor. To help understand what is possible, I put together a video of data captured by Guenter Doeffel, Marketing at SynerGIS Infomationsysteme Wien in Germany, here is a link to the web scene he published. You need to allow the data to download and cache into the browser, once that happens it renders very quickly. Here is a video I put together showing the Web Scene embedded in a story map ... View more
