Designing Geodatabases for Transportation by J Allison Butler

Designing Geodatabases for Transportation by J Allison Butler

Designing Geodatabases for Transportation addresses the construction of a GIS to manage data describing the transportation facilities and services commonly organized around various modes of travel. Although details of each mode can be quite different, this book demonstrates how all modes of travel follow a basic conceptual structure consisting of an origin, a destination, a path between the two, and a conveyance that provides the ability to move along the path. ""Designing Geodatabases for Transportation"" explains best practices for building and implementing geodatabases for transportation in a manner that enables flexibility and use by multiple parties. The book also provides solutions for existing problems created by unsystematic design.

J. Allison Butler has worked for many local, regional, and state transportation agencies during his 30-year career. A prolific writer in his area of expertise, Butler has been a consistent innovator in such fields as spatial database design, traffic engineering, planning policy, and economic development. He was a key participant in developing the GIS Certification Institute (GISCI) certification program. He is a co developer with Dr. Kenneth J. Dueker of the GIS-T Enterprise Data Model. Mr. Butler is a frequent conference speaker and workshop instructor on a number of topics including highway safety, geodatabase design, agency management, and land-use planning. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering from Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, and his Master of Science degree in electric power engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York.
