Project Location
Transportation/Environmental Concern
Project will allow transportation planners and environmental scientists to rapidly evaluate a project area and determine alternative solutions without having to conduct multiple fieldinvestigations.
Proposed Remote Sensing/GIS Solution Paradigm
1. Change detection analysis for updating landcover/ landuse
2. Sharing of data across the Internet via an Internet Map Server (IMS)
3. GIS based planning tool for automatic calculation of environmental impacts, creation of impact matrices and development of alignment mapping.

PROJECT TITLE: Automating Wetlands Identification to meet Federal Reporting Requirements
Integration with existing GIS architecture to streamline the process for planned road construction projects
“As is” Planning Process
Wetland surveys are conducted using:– 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation
Manual
Supplemental information from:– National Wetland Inventory– 1959 Soil Survey (USDA-SCS)– Aerial photography– Field Reconnaissance
Remote Sensing and the Planning Process
Remotely sensed wetlands data can be introduced early in the planning process
Benefits include:– Incorporation with other available GIS data layers – Good preliminary indication of potential impact – Provides an accurate guide to field reconnaissance
and survey
Integration with VDOT’s GIS Architecture
Derived wetland polygons will be made available through VDOT GIS– Thin client, web-enabled, enterprise wide
Oracle, ESRI/SDE, and ArcIMS software
– Data will be integrated with other enterprise GIS Data
Planned Investigative Approach
Route 17, City of Chesapeake Virginia
Review VDOT wetland identification processes for projects
Review completed processes for Route 17 Acquire Erdas Sub-pixel software Identify and acquire imagery Establish reflectance ranges for vegetation
types
Planned Investigative Approach
Unsupervised and supervised classification routine refinement
Output polygons to compare with existing GIS data (soil types, NWI)
Compare to existing field reconnaissance data Load polygons into enterprise GIS to make available to
Environmental Analysts Environmental Analysts “redline” data Redlines available to others via internal web GIS
Planned Investigative Approach
