GeoTex is currently finalizing the process of determining ADA approved slopes for ramp and non-ramp areas across Texas State’s campus. GeoTex has remained on schedule, and will begin the routing process next week.

All essential buildings on Texas State’s campus will have ADA approved routes leading to them GeoTex strives to create easy-to-read maps to assist all persons with disabilities in navigating the campus

TASK 1: Determine/map accessible non-ramp areas TASK 2: Gather ramp data, determine, and add accessible ramp areas to non-ramp map. TASK 3: Routing process

Blanco hall to the JC Kellam building

Task 1: Route map slope data Acquired all necessary data Created map of existing routes Converted LiDAR data and created high resolution slope map Task 2: GPS data collection Acquired GPS device from Department of Geography Task 3: Verify analysis and design final map Scheduled tasks to be completed

Red = Steep slope Green = Flat areas Blue = Existing routes Lavender = Buildings

Task 1: Route map slope data Designing final deliverable slope map. Task 2: GPS data collection Collecting point data of all curb-cut and wheelchair ramp locations. Collecting building interior accessibility data (automatic doors, elevators, ramps, etc.) Task 3: Design final deliverable route map and verify analysis Work has been scheduled.

Task 2: GPS data collection Import GPS data into ArcMap and determine slope between each curb-cut and wheelchair ramp point collected in the field. Task 3: Design final route map and verify analysis Develop routes that comply with ADA standards. Design final deliverable route map. Upload all deliverables to project website.

 Unable to obtain a GPS device with a high enough resolution and level of accuracy to obtain precise measurements of shallow slope areas in the field.  Original DEM data had a resolution of 10 meters. This resolution is too low for any meaningful slope analysis on campus. ◦ Resolved: The group acquired and formatted LiDAR data which now has a resolution of 6 inches.

Task:March 24 th -30 th March 31 st - April 6 th April 7 th -13 th April 14 th -20 th April 21 st -27 th April 28 th - May 4 th Progress Update March 26 th Identification of Accessibility Gaps Finish by: April 2 nd Formulation of Final Routes Finish by: April 7 th Creation of Final Maps/Deliverables Begin by: April 7 th Finish by: April 23 rd Final Presentation Preparation Begin by: April 13 th Finish by: April 27 th Final Presentation May 2 nd  The following timeline is updated from the original proposal to provide a more accurate picture of what still needs to be accomplished and the target dates for completion.

GeoTex will create a map of all handicap accessible routes around central campus. All routes will comply with the current Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines. Map will be made available online.
