G I S Applications in Utilities and Natural Resources Networking

Overview

With the growing complexity of monitoring and managing different represents real-world multimodal networks datasets as electrical, Oil-Gas, Pipeline, Transportations, Roads, Telecommunications, and more. Governments, Organizations, and companies have increasingly turned to GIS as spatial Information system. They recognize its capability to integrate with, and enhance the capabilities of existing systems, as well as initiate new spatially oriented applications and procedures.

Objectives

This course explains how GIS solve the real-world networking problems. Teaches how to create network datasets, working with simple and complex networks, apply network weights and restrict area of a trace. Introduce step-by-step live demonstration using ArcGIS9.1 - Network Analyst software, to create, store, and analyze Utilities and natural resources networks.  Participants work with these network datasets to solve different types of network problems.

Audience

This course is ideally suited for GIS Editors, GIS engineers, Gis analysts, and GIS developers. Mainly who work in spatial Networking environment, as Transportations, Electricity, Oil-Gas, Pipelines, Roads, and others, will benefit from this course.

Perquisites

This is an intermediate course. Participants should be familiar with GIS concepts. And Prerequisite skills may be obtained in Introduction to Geographic Information Systems course
