1 Creating a Trail Map and Trouble Reporting System Using Open Source Technology Capstone Proposal David Todd Advisor: Jan Oliver Wallgrün GEOG 596A: Individual Studies – Peer Review Fall 2013 10/25/2013 David Todd - GEOG 596A

2 Overview Background Goals and Objectives Proposal Research Proposed Methodology Anticipated Results Project Timeline References Questions David Todd - GEOG 596A

3 Background East Coast Greenway (ECG): ~ 3000 miles long ~ 29% trail (834 miles) Maine to Florida Managed by ECG Alliance (ECGA) David Todd - GEOG 596A

4 Background David Todd - GEOG 596A ECGA: Non-profit organization Promotes vision Provides strategic assistance, guides, signage, maps, cue sheets, and trail promotion Relies on locals to manage and build trail

5 Background David Todd - GEOG 596A Current System: Site provides links for each state Links take user to Google Maps Trail data in KML format Google Maps displays KML

6 Background David Todd - GEOG 596A System Pros: KML includes ALL trails Google Maps can provide directions to/from places System Cons: KML includes ALL trails No layer toggling No trail status No trouble reporting

7 Background David Todd - GEOG 596A System Users: Trail Liaisons – Global and regional – Add, delete, update Trail Users – Visualize – Report

8 Goals and Objectives The goal is to provide an integrated open source geospatial publishing and reporting platform that allows volunteer organizations to get up and running quickly. David Todd - GEOG 596A

9 Goals and Objectives Create GIS Create trouble reporting system Create simple single install David Todd - GEOG 596A

10 Proposal Research David Todd - GEOG 596A State of the Art: Trail Mapping – International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA) – National Geographic – Rails-to-Trails Conservancy

11 Proposal Research David Todd - GEOG 596A State of the Art: Trail Status – Appalachian Trail Conservancy Trouble Reporting – New York – New Jersey Trail Conference – Fairfax County, Virginia – Seneca Trail

12 What is open source and why choose it? – Hardware, Software, FOSS4G What is volunteered geographic information (VGI)? – How is it used? – Is it trustworthy? – Why is it important? Proposal Research David Todd - GEOG 596A

13 Proposed Methodology David Todd - GEOG 596A Phase 1: Data – Obtain, convert, clean GIS – Open source/cloud based – Templates for map visualization

14 Proposed Methodology David Todd - GEOG 596A Phase 2: Testing/peer review (1) – Trail users and trail liaisons Trouble reporting – Location, location, location! – Build with JavaScript Testing/peer review (2)

15 Proposed Methodology David Todd - GEOG 596A Phase 3: Single Install – Amazon Machine Image (AMI) Testing/Peer Review (Final) – End to end testing

16 Anticipated Results David Todd - GEOG 596A Open source GIS that is easy to reproduce Easy trail administration for trail liaisons Intuitive web maps for trail users available anywhere, anytime Ability for trail users to report trail issues

17 Project Timeline October & November 2013: – Data/GIS (6 weeks) November & December 2013: – Testing/Peer Review 1 (1 week) – Trouble Reporting (5 weeks) January 2014: – Testing/Peer Review 2 (1 week) January & February 2014: – Single Install (6 weeks) March 2014: – Final Testing/Peer Review (2 weeks) February, April or July 2014: – Project presentation (FOSDEM, AAG, or OSCON) David Todd - GEOG 596A
