DPW Road Closures Google App.
As requested at the last EGIS technical session, click HERE to download the application’s source code. Please reserve any technical questions for the next EGIS tech meeting. Thanks!
DESCRIPTION/WORKFLOW: The Road Closures application is a public facing site that displays information about county maintained closed roads. The information is displayed in both a detailed list and thru an interactive map. The previous version did not have an interactive map; maps were static/pdf based. It was developed to help minimize/streamline the update process for our Mapping section. The workflow consists of the following:
- Road Maintenance Division updates the road closures list thru our Maintenance Management System (MMS)
- As a result:
a. The detailed list on the site is automatically updated
b. An automatic email & text alert is sent to our Mapping section - Mapping updates the road closure graphics via the road closures feature class in our GIS database (SDE)
- Mapping converts this into a KML thru ArcMap and FTPs the file to our DMZ server
- The road closure map graphics are then updated on the site
Note: The sidebar road closure list is updated automatically thru a script that creates the XML file. The XML file consists of data from the road closures layer in our GIS database.
