The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) manages the highways, bridges, and a large subset of the roads for the province of British Columbia. This includes planning, procurement and execution of upgrades and maintenance of the transportation system. MOTI is undergoing a strategic realignment and modernization of its approach to how it manages its infrastructure and services through data and applications. The Spatial Data Strategy will be looking at data and applications from an organizational perspective.
To achieve this goal FME is being used as the integrative glue to bring systems and data together across the organization. This talk will detail the strategic goal and step through some high level examples of where FME was used to integrate large and complex sets of data from different ministries, regions and business areas into a common enterprise database, and then use FME to drive out a product for an upstream application.
11. GeoBC ITN
• ITN is the single, authoritative source for road data for the
Province of B.C
• Maintained by GeoBC through collaboration and input from
municipalities, regional districts, MoTI and other organizations.
• All demographic roads, resource roads, ferry routes, trails
• Evolving, improving in content and quality
• Address ranges, structures, lane counts and so much more.
32. Z-Levels
- Lets bring in FME again
- Have structure classification from ITN
- Supported by restrictions that identify structures
- Can’t automatically resolves Z levels
- Structural problem
- Data Quality Issues
- Detect likely Z crossings
- Some manual QA
- Bring in railways, pedestrian overpasses
- Exclusively in support of height restrictions
- Collaborate with GeoBC to reuse this information

34. - Initially ferry routes did not have much granularity
- Classified as a ferry route
- Rich classification is now available
- Routing engine could make the choice to turn from a major to minor ferry
route
- Initial solution
- Build overpasses at sea
- Make ferry routes pass over each other at intersections
- No longer needed but was a fun solution

36. Trucking Backbone
- Backbone network
- Want trucks to gravitate to the backbone
- Shortest path may result in impractical route (through residential neighbourhoods)
- Routing engine applies weights to the segments
- The backbone becomes low cost
- Generated routes direct trucks to backbone at earliest opportunity
- Backbone must be connected subnetwork of the ITN
- Any exceptions dealt with manually
