GIS (Geographical Information System) Mapping System for North Carolina's Appalachian Development Highway System (ADHS) Corridors:Final rept

摘要

The proposed research will implement the benefits of GIS mapping capabilities into the ADHS corridors, making it compatible with NCDOT, FHWA, and the ARCs databases. The mapping functions will be able to show and easily update development status, and data in Table B for the individual cost estimate sections. This system will also show cross-sections by NCDOT individual estimate sections. It will also incorporate aerial imagery at the one-meter resolution for the ADHS corridors. The system will incorporate easy updates to different development status, new section breaks, and changes to corridor alignments, along with the ability to display Table B data and show typical cross-sections. Expected benefits of this project include linkage with other transportation and highway data, extended cooperation between government agencies and lower cost of shared resources. This project will provide a more accurate digital map inventory of the ADHS corridors for transportation and economic development issues in the state of North Carolina.
