It began as a warrior feast. Rooms were designed specifically for the proceedings. At the GIS (1) (Geographic Information System) An information system that deals with spatial information. Often called "mapping software," it links attributes and characteristics of an area to its geographic location. for Transportation Symposium (GIS-T), March 25-27 in Atlanta, Intergraph Mapping and GIS Solutions (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :INGR) is demonstrating its industry-proven GeoMedia(R) technology and IntelliWhere(TM) products. Among the noteworthy products and solutions in Intergraph's booth (14-19) are their transportation industry products for enterprise linear referencing systems (LRS LRS Lawyer Referral Service (Ontario) LRS Library Research Service LRS Linear Referencing System (transportation engineering) LRS Logistics Readiness Squadron (USAF) ) management and analysis of spatial data Data that is represented as 2D or 3D images. A geographic information system (GIS) is one of the primary applications of spatial data (land maps). See spatial analysis, spatial resolution and GIS glossary. , soon-to-be-announced GeoMedia 5.0 products, and IntelliWhere OnDemand product, a new vector-based mapping software for personal digital assistants (PDAs). Intergraph Mapping and GIS Solutions is an established leader in the transportation market segment, estimated at $53 million (software, services, and hardware) based on the 2001 Geographic Information Systems geographic information system (GIS) Computerized system that relates and displays data collected from a geographic entity in the form of a map. The ability of GIS to overlay existing data with new information and display it in colour on a computer screen is used primarily to (GIS) Markets and Opportunities report published by Daratech Inc. (Cambridge, Mass.). Intergraph addresses the enterprisewide mapping and GIS needs of more than 30 state departments of transportation and many state, provincial, federal, and municipal agencies worldwide. "Streamlining asset management costs and efficiently sharing mission-critical data are a priority for transportation agencies in managing day-to-day operations," said David Kingsbury, director of Intergraph's Transportation Solution Center for North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. . "We continue to serve customers' enterprise needs with comprehensive geospatial Geospatial is a term widely used to describe the combination of spatial software and analytical methods with terrestrial or geographic datasets. The term is often used in conjunction with geographic information systems and geomatics. solutions ranging from project planning project planning - project management to project implementation and a breadth of products that work seamlessly from the desktop to the field. And Intergraph's solutions are built using open industry standards for easy data sharing The ability to share the same data resource with multiple applications or users. It implies that the data are stored in one or more servers in the network and that there is some software locking mechanism that prevents the same set of data from being changed by two people at the same time. , regardless of format, to preserve our transportation customer's valuable geospatial and business data investments." GeoMedia and IntelliWhere provide robust transportation solutions Intergraph's solutions and core products complement their commitment to provide superior, end-to-end end-to-end a pattern of anastomosis in which severed ends are matched and united, in contrast with other patterns such as end-to-side or side-to-side. Usually applied to anastomosis of the intestine. geospatial solutions for transportation customers. Attendees can experience the company's latest transportation-focused solutions by seeing these key demonstrations: -- 3M is demonstrating its Transportation Asset Management System (TAMS), a comprehensive transportation safety asset management system that inventories and manages the maintenance and replacement of traffic signs, pavement markings, and other transportation infrastructure components throughout their life cycles. Because GeoMedia WebMap supports various GIS data formats, it allows TAMS to integrate disparate GIS data sources without translation. -- Hansen will show its Hansen Roadway Inventory Model that maintains all roadway inventory data such as pavement information, traffic counts, street level furniture, and roughness. A direct integration to GeoMedia allows roadway inventory users to access GeoMedia directly using dynamic segmentation to locate inventory in a GIS road network and then analyze the data with GeoMedia's capabilities such as thematics, spatial analysis, map presentation, and more. -- PwC Consulting, a business of PricewaterhouseCoopers, is demonstrating a prototype at the Intergraph booth. The product is the front-end of TRANSIMS-DOT, PwC Consulting's commercial version of The Transportation Analysis Simulation System (TRANSIMS) developed by the Los Alamos National Laboratory and sponsored by the United States Department of Transportation. TRANSIMS-DOT provides next-generation transportation simulation capability to state and local transportation planners. PwC Consulting will demonstrate the TRANSIMS Network Editor based on GeoMedia technology, which provides an easy-to-use ability to display a region's transportation road network and enter data needed by TRANSIMS-DOT. Partners demonstrate flexible GeoMedia-based solutions 3m, Hansen Han·sen , Gerhard Henrik Armauer 1746-1845. Norwegian physician and bacteriologist who discovered (1869) the leprosy bacillus. , and PricewaterhouseCoopers will be on board at the Intergraph booth to demonstrate how they implement GeoMedia technology for innovative transportation solutions. -- 3M is demonstrating its Transportation Asset Management System (TAMS), a comprehensive transportation safety asset management system that inventories and manages the maintenance and replacement of traffic signs, pavement markings, and other transportation infrastructure components throughout their life cycles.
