Open Access to High Resolution Elevation Data for Transportation Planning in Rhode Island

项目名称：	Open Access to High Resolution Elevation Data for Transportation Planning in Rhode Island
摘要：	Transportation planners and consultants in Rhode Island need ready access to accurate geospatial data to assist in the design and development of plans and bids for transportation-based construction projects. These same data are of prime importance in evaluating the potential impacts of climate change, including the vulnerability of existing transportation infrastructure to environmental hazards, storm surge, and sea level rise. Complete, accurate, and consistent high resolution elevation data are a key geospatial data theme used in these applications, yet these data remain largely inaccessible by transportation planners and design consultants due to unique file structures and large file sizes. The focus of the work will be to: (1) assemble, tile, and distribute products obtained from The Northeast Multiphase LiDAR Project; (2) organize and package the Northeast LiDAR data in a manner that streamlines Rhode Island Department of Transportation's (RIDOT) ability to update and export elevation products; and (3) conduct a pilot study testing the validity of refining these data to achieve the resolution needed for transportation planning activities.
