Client
A US client with more than 20 years of
experience in data management and compilation,
and has developed premier map databases
that provide the foundation for location-based
applications, including in-car navigation,
Internet and wireless services, AVL and
call-center services.
Business Need
The client wished to enhance accuracy and
add attributes, to its current vector database
offering comprising streets, railroads and
water features, and provide this value add
to the growing markets of ‘car navigation
systems’ and ’location based
services’.
The client wanted to graphically enhance
spatial accuracy and geometrical shapes
of the street networks in order to ensure
that the user-interface represented a real
world situation akin to an aerial imagery.
Related attributes of the earlier data set
were to be retained by this graphically
enhanced data set. The client also wanted
to enhance transport routing parameters
as per its own modeling specifications.
This entire exercise, covering approximately
70% of the US population, was to be carried
out in a very short time frame.
Solution
RMSI and the client conducted a user needs
assessment, as an integrated team and designed
a complete set of interactive processes
for this project.
RMSI developed a proprietary methodology
for interactive conflation of newly captured
vectors from aerial imageries, and attributes
attached to the earlier vector data.
The total solution included capturing of
raw vectors for streets, railroads and water
features, as perceived from real world aerial
imagery of the USA, interactive conflation,
re-appropriation, and enhancement of the
transport attributes.
The client’s modeling specifications
were kept in mind throughout the process.
A QA suite of algorithmic checks at RMSI
and the client site ensured quality output.An
automated work management system was developed
in-house, for work distribution, work and
skill-set tracking, and real time project
monitoring.
Benefits
The client, within the prescribed time
limit, received up-to-date and precise street,
railroad, and water vectors with duly enhanced
attributes.The automated work management
system meant for project monitoring and
helped in timely delivery of the project.
The client provided this updated data set
to its clients as part of its value add
offerings, thus retaining its leading position
as a quality supplier of accurate street
network data.
