Abstract:
<\/span><\/td>\n		GIS have been developed as a popular utility for data analyses in both science, social science, and engineering applications. However, in higher education, GIS have long been taught in two separate contents: 1) concept and theory centric, most of the textbooks were written this way; 2) software centric, a great number of software training books were published, and training classes are offered. Students need to be educated on both theoretical and practical sides. This approach combines scientific concepts and theories rooted in the geographic information science and geographic science, and the hands-on practices of data collections, data processing, data analysis, and data modeling in ArcGIS Pro software environment for higher education. In the newly published textbook, three fundamental parts are organized in a sequential model. These are: 1) Concepts and Theories, 2) Hands-on Tutorials of Data Analysis, and 3) Student Projects (exercises). This new textbook facilitates the students to master both concepts and analytical skills simultaneously. Students of various disciplines equipped with GIS analytical capability will be more compatible to serve our society.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Abstract:
<\/span><\/td>\n		Cloud cover in satellite imagery can lead to inaccuracies and errors when producing maps. To mitigate these issues, it is important to remove the cloud cover prior to analysis and processing. Although Fmask is a commonly used method for cloud removal and has been available since 2012, it may not be suitable for more detailed work, particularly in forested regions of Maine. As part of the GIST Capstone program at Monroe Community College (MCC), in collaboration with the University of Maine, this MCC student developed a QGIS plugin to make UMaine\u2019s methodology available to those using the QGIS environment.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Presenter(s):
<\/span><\/td>\n		Gerard Aiken, Esri<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Bio(s):<\/span><\/td>\nDuring my 25 plus years in Geospatial Technology I have always looked towards the opportunity for myself and others to utilize the people, technology and resources to tackle a mission, to solve the business problem, to discover the not considered viewpoint and to depict the path forward. I am currently the Esri Account Manager for the Local Government team covering New York State Counties and Cities.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Abstract:
<\/span><\/td>\n		The 30 by 30 effort is a national goal to conserve at least 30 percent of U.S. lands and freshwater and 30 percent of U.S. ocean areas by 2030. This effort aims to provide space for nature to offer room for adaptation and survival under the increasing pressure of climate change, while simultaneously working towards a more sustainable and equitable approach to managing our natural world. Esri is committed to supporting our users work towards 30 by 30 and feel that a Geospatial Infrastructure is a requirement to support the 30 by 30 effort at all levels and that GIS provides the critical capabilities for both understanding and engagement.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Presenter(s):
<\/span><\/td>\n		Tony Bianchi, JMT Technology Group; Dave Isbell, JMT Technology Group<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Bio(s):<\/span><\/td>\n\n

Tony Bianchi, PMP
Mr. Bianchi received his civil engineering degree from Bucknell University and holds an
MBA. He is a Regional Director with the JMT Technology Group managing projects and
supporting clients in NY, PA, OH, and KY with GIS-based solutions. He has over 30
years of experience including twelve years with the American Association of Highway
and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) managing software development projects for
Departments of Transportation across the United States and Canada. Mr. Bianchi was
the project manager for both phase I and phase II of the development and
implementation of the City of Syracuse\u2019s Transportation Management Center\u2019s GIS-
based dashboard.<\/p>\n

David M. Isbell
Mr. Isbell has over 3 decades of experience in traffic operations, traffic incident
management, special event planning, highway operations and emergency response. He
currently serves as JMT of New York, Inc.\u2019s consultant Traffic Management Center
(TMC) Manager for the City of Syracuse Department of Public Works. In this position he
was instrumental in the creation of the TMC including the initial concept of operations
and is involved in all aspects of operation of the TMC including planning, staffing,
supervision of day-to-day operations and creation of the TMC Operations Manual. He
has previous experience as the consultant TMC Operations Manager for the NYSDOT
Region 3 TMC, 28 years of experience with NYSDOT, and 4 years as the Regional
Director of Emergency Management with NYS Homeland Security.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Abstract:
<\/span><\/td>\n		The City of Syracuse, NY\u2019s Traffic Management Center identified the need for a tool that could incorporate multiple data sources into one interface to improve situational awareness and make better data-informed decisions. To meet this need, JMT developed a web-based transportation dashboard for the TMC inside of the city’s ArcGIS Online environment. This effort involved identifying and evaluating the various data sources for inclusion in the pilot dashboard including near real-time data. In later phases of the dashboard, JMT utilized ESRI\u2019s ArcGIS Velocity to create dynamic feature classes from the raw data feeds via the Application Programming Interface (API) provided by the third-party vendor. The API provided access to transit information important to TMC operators like current bus location, heading, date\/time, route information, stops, delay status, and service bulletins. In addition, JMT used Arcade expressions for custom symbology of the bus data within the web map, Arcade expressions for date\/timestamp reformatting of the bus data, and instituted geofencing around the bus operations and maintenance facility to effectively hide buses that were not in operation.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Abstract:
<\/span><\/td>\n		How does one go from raw data, harvested from the wild to a routing network that digitally models real-world driving conditions? The short answer is that it takes a lot of work. Fortunately, there are ways to make the work easier. Over the past few years, we have employed several time-saving scripts and tools to help us engineer our data to create a map worthy of routing. The purpose of this presentation is to address some of the hurdles we have encountered working with data sourced from local government and how we overcame them using Python scripting and ArcGIS Python Add-In tools<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Abstract:
<\/span><\/td>\n		\n

Digital twins can be leveraged to help government agencies, local communities, and distributed teams with some of their most vexing information management challenges. In addition to reduced budgets, minimized staffing, and deferred maintenance, municipalities and aging facilities are often faced with outdated mapping, incomplete asset inventory and insufficient existing conditions of vital infrastructure.<\/p>\n

This presentation examines the latest technology used to create the digital twin including 3D laser scanning, mobile LiDAR and UAV imagery. The presenters will examine real-world case studies involving a variety of digital twins that have been assembled for AEC design teams, agencies and municipalities throughout the United States.<\/p>\n

The digital twin serves as an infrastructure data management tool which can integrate with other digital information sources and support infrastructure maintenance activities. The modern basemap is no longer a static image, plan set, or web map that only captures a simplified representation of reality, but rather an immersive collection of datasets from multiple sources. The latest technologies efficiently provide rich datasets which maximize value and make the data accessible to stakeholders.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Presenter(s):
<\/span><\/td>\n		Lisa Casey<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Bio(s):<\/span><\/td>\nI am the GIS Coordinator at Niagara County, NY. I work across several county departments to implement various GIS projects. I also administer the countywide Enterprise GIS (ESRI) and maintain our web applications. I especially enjoy working with colleagues to transition our procedures and records management from paper to digital\/GIS\/mobile formats. Prior to joining the County in 2011, I worked for Ecology and Environment Inc as a GIS Analyst (8 yrs), and TVGA Consultants as a photogrammetrist (5 yrs). When I am not working, I have many hobbies including: bike riding, scrabble, canning, cooking & baking, quilting and reading.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Abstract:
<\/span><\/td>\n		\n

When ESRI announced the forthcoming retirement of its long-standing and enduring desktop software ArcMap, Niagara County, like many local governments, was faced with migrating to the replacement ESRI desktop GIS software ArcPro. One issue that our organization had to work through during this upgrade was the retirement of our custom tools that had been built for ArcMap within the ArcObjects Environment; due to the .NET API workflow in ArcPro not being compatible with that of ArcMap. Specifically, Niagara County GIS would need to find a solution to the retirement of our Real Property plotting tools that had been used to create the 1,400+ tax maps of the County each year since 2008.<\/p>\n

During this session, I will discuss the process of recreating our legacy ArcMap plotting tools for use in ArcPro. Originally built with ArcObjects (C++) for use in ArcMap, I reconstructed the tools into Python 3 code that is compatible with the ArcPro Desktop environment. I\u2019ll share some valuable on-line resources that I found and a few lessons learned. I also hope to get input from the audience on their experiences regarding upgrading their own custom tools, as I am sure others have faced similar stumbling blocks.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Bio(s):<\/span><\/td>\nScott is the Public Information Specialist II at the Division of Communication, Engagement , and Education for the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Scott joined the DEC in 2019, in part to help bring DECinfo Locator to fruition. He now leads the administration team for DECinfo Locator, in addition to other work as section chief of the DCEE’s Web Development Team.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Abstract:
<\/span><\/td>\n		DECinfo Locator is an interactive GIS mapping application and information portal that lets anyone access DEC documents and data about the environment and outdoor recreation resources wherever they live, work, and play.
The application was launched in 2019 with 50 data layers, and today, there are are more than 80 interactive data layers available. Additional data layers and functionality improvements are happening at least every other month.<\/p>\n

By activating layer categories that interest them, residents can download permits, access the latest clean-up information, view photos, and connect to database records from the comfort of home, without a FOIL request and waiting weeks or months for the information. Anyone can get the most current and accurate information DEC has available for areas in New York State, information that is challenging to obtain through more conventional methods (FOIL, website, etc.). With the new data layer web services option, GIS users can incorporate our real-time information in any mapping configuring they would like to create.<\/p>\n

DECinfo Locator is a collaborative application that spans 16 DEC divisions and the NYS Office of Information Technology Services, which remains critical to its ongoing success.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Abstract:\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\nSince their origins in the early 20th century, accessing and understanding zoning codes has been a difficult and time consuming proposition. Delays and errors in correctly interpreting the administration of these codes has slowed the development process and obfuscated citizen\u2019s property rights for far too long. In this presentation, we will explore how an interactive zoning code platform provides a variety of benefits for users through the use of GIS.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Abstract:
<\/span><\/td>\n		\n

Interior space mapping is becoming more prevalent throughout many facets of the AEC industry. It enables your organization to build an indoor geographic information system (GIS) accessible to all end users and can create a complete operating picture for the facility.<\/p>\n

Interior space mapping involves the creation of accurate and detailed maps of interior spaces to support a variety of uses cases, such as indoor navigation, wayfinding, space planning, augmented\/virtual reality simulations, public safety and asset\/facility management. First, the data schema and data collection methodology must be able to support the end goal needs.<\/p>\n

This presentation will focus on schema preparation, data collection and data curation to support the creation of 2D floorplans, network routing for ArcGIS Indoors and 3D BIM models\/digital twins.\u00a0 JMT will share project examples and key learnings from utilizing design\/as-builts, 360\u00b0 cameras and point cloud data collection to provide properly formatted data to support those high-end indoor space applications.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
