Projects Experience Sample

GeoCortex based Mobile GIS Application

Superior IT designed, developed and deployed the Hybrid Mobile App for Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) which works on iOS and Android based smart devices along with leading web-browsers. This application is developed utilizing Geocortex Essentials 4.0, Geocortex Viewer for HTML5 2.0 in Esri's ArcGIS Server environment. This application outfits various features and functionalities, such as Identify (tap/click event) on the map feature displays a callout with respective attributes information from the respective map layer.

Web Flex Viewer Mapping Application

Superior IT developed advanced and custom widgets for ArcGIS Flex Viewer 3.6 utilizing REST API for Flex. This project involves many widgets but few specific functionalities are as below:

Measurement and Draw widget provides have more interactive measurements than the standard draw tool provides. With this widget, user will be able to complete the drawing of a line or polygon and a result will be returned from a geometry service. User will know the length of the vertex as they were drawing the line or polygon. This widget will allow the user to see the length of each line-segment. User will be able to draw multiple geometries on the map and change the units of measurements along with styling changes.

Print Widget provides the user an ability to print directly to printer or create PDF of the map in GIS Application. The print widget will allow the user to enter a title, subtitle, date, and specify if optional legend, scale bar, and north arrow has to be included on the map. The legend will display symbols and descriptions for layers that are turned on. There will be a default setting for all options. The map will be WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) i.e. the layers displayed (turned on) in the viewer will be presented in the print copy map. User will be able to select the municipality’s name (City of Coldwater, Union City, Quincy, and Bronson) from a dropdown value and according municipality’s logo will appear on map’s print layout.

NCVAS GIS Application

Superior IT developed a rich internet application for the Department of Veterans Affairs statistics divisions mapping needs. The web based mapping application provides the following sets of widgets and features:
  - Selector (Geography and Data Display Selection)
  - Advanced Map Navigation
  - Map Group Layers Overlays
  - Esri Basemaps (Grey Scale/Streets/US Topo/Imagery)
  - Bookmarks (Public/Personal with Export/Import)
  - Print Map/PDF (Dynamic and custom themes)
  - Custom Map Tips
  - Profiles (Statistics, Charts, Graphs)
  - Labeling on Map Features
  - Dynamic Legends (Change class breaks and colors)
  - Attribute/Spatial Query and Data Export
  - Advanced Sketch and Draw (with Import/Export)
  - TimeSlider/Trends
  - Compare Maps
  - Full Screen

Superior IT also created an Intranet site, equipped to interface with SAS OLAP cube's EBI data, allowing users to view the data for complex data queries. This application sensibly utilizes the map services pool, without impacting the ArcGIS server.

Detroit Water & Sewerage Department GIS

Superior IT implemented the GIS for Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD), possessing one of the largest water and sewer utilities infrastructures in United States. Our tasks included needs assessment, information collection, database design, application architecture, prototype development and launching the pilot GIS application.

JavaScript API based GIS Mapping Application

Superior IT designed and developed PAT Application using ArcGIS for JavaScript API. This application's technology stack utilize Esri ArcGIS Server 10.2.2, ArcSDE, ArcGIS Desktop Advanced, Spatial Analyst, Microsoft SQL Server 2012, Geo-Processing Services, Map Services, WCF based REST Web Services, HTML 5, Bootstrap, Sencha ExtJS, CSS, JavaScript, etc. Superior IT developed web services in WCF and C#, map feature services and geo-processing services in ArcGIS Server, and maintained all data in SQL Server. All solution was built using MVC (Model View Controller) architecture and JavaScript based frameworks for Client side application (Sencha ExtJS 4.2, ArcGIS REST API for JavaScript, Bootstrap, DOJO, etc.)

The objective of the feature extraction (attribution) process is to populate the geodatabase as efficiently and accurately as possible. This tool will display each structure photo and the 13 attributes required in a form. Each attribute will have radio buttons or some other efficient method of selecting attributes. The technician will use hot keys to populate each attribute with the correct selection. As attributes are recorded, the technician will go to the next photo. At this point, the attribute selections will be saved to the geodatabase and sent to a reviewer for QA/QC. Should the technician be unable to identify an attribute, the tool will contain a button to elevate the photograph to a senior expert, who will then make a judgment call or flag for additional research. The tool will also provide summary reports on an individual rate of production and quality metrics to enable effective project management.

PAT application has the following features: 1) User Authentication; 2) Map Navigation (Custom: Zoom-In, Zoom-Out, Default Extent, Previous Extent, Next Extent, Pan); 3) Identify Features; 4) Select Basemaps; 5) Dynamic Legend; 6) TriView Integration; 7) Photo Attribute Editor which can un-dock/dock the photo panel which can load low-resolution or high-resolution images, along with mouse-wheel controlled image zoom-in/zoom-out functionality; 8) Control Panel where administrator can perform following actions(Create/Modify user with different user-types, Assign job to users); 9) Custom and pre-defined reports.

Conflation Add-In for ArcGIS Desktop

Superior IT developed Conflation Add-In for ArcGIS Desktop for GeoTel Communications. This Add-In utility conflates (spatial adjustment) the geometries of 1.4 million MetroFiber lines against the base layers of all United States streets and railroads.

Natural Gas Pipelines GIS Mapping Solution

Superior IT developed Natural Gas Pipelines (NGP) GIS mapping solution, permitting operations personnel to view existing facility locations and asset information stored in the Pipeline Data Management System (PDMS). PDMS contains accurate records of both the physical attributes and locations of Natural Gas Pipeline facilities as well as related geographic information.

Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport GIS Application

Superior IT implemented a GIS application for Gulfport Airport, utilizing Esri REST APIs (Flex Widgets) and ADF.NET based controls and webpages. This application ties to Google Maps and Microsoft Bing Maps features.

Map Overlays Management Application

Superior IT developed a map overlays management application to govern the uploading of customer specific GIS data (maps, point data, etc.) for storage.

Vanderbilt University GIS Application

Superior IT implemented a GIS application for Vanderbilt University's Campus Planning and Construction Department, utilizing Esri REST APIs (Flex API and JavaScript API). This application ties to Google Maps and Bing Maps.
