ENHANCING ROAD SAFETY MANAGEMENT WITH GIS MAPPING AND GEOSPATIAL DATABASEDr Wei Liu
Reliable and accurate data are needed in each stage of road safety management in order to correctly identify problems and risk factors and priority treatments, and to formulate strategy, set targets and monitor performance. Ongoing, data-led diagnosis and management of the leading road safety problems enables appropriate action and resource allocation. Data relevant to road safety are collected every day, but for these data to be useful for informing road safety practice, they must be properly coded and visualized, processed and analysed in a systematic way. With the road system management strategy switching from 3Es to Safe System, there is additional challenges and demand for the integrated use of various types of road safety data. In this paper, the development of an integrated road safety data management system is introduced. The road safety data management system consists of a geospatial database for storing, querying and analysing road safety related data including crash records, road safety deficiency records, carriageway, surfacing, geometry, skid resistance, signs and road marking etc, and a GIS mapping platform for visualizing and integrating different data sets. Data from a State Highway network is used to demonstrate the potential application areas of the information system developed, such as identification of crash hot-spots, development of safety intervention and safety management strategies, planning of minor safety improvement programme, and investigation of severe and fatal crashes.

2018 GIS in Government: Prioritization Modeling Lancaster County PA TIP Proje...GIS in the Rockies
To assist the Lancaster County PA Planning Commission with its Transportation Improvement Program (developed cooperatively between the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), PennDOT, and South Central Transit Authority), a GIS prioritization model was developed to score, rank and prioritize various regionally-significant and federally-funded transportation projects throughout the county. The prioritization modeling and scoring, based on 25 weight-based selection criteria, evaluates over one hundred potential TIP project locations throughout the county using a series of environmental, social, economic, geographic, and safety factors throughout the region resulting in a prioritized ranking of TIP projects. Testing the limits of ESRIs Model Builder, the toolset and its graphical interface can be used by multiple staff to investigate planning alternatives and meet changing needs on an ongoing basis.
With collaborations with various City divisions and private service providers (in this case Streetlight data providers), our North York mobility innovation team uncovered several surprising suburban travel behaviour, patterns and distributions of trips that lead to meaningful and quantitative multimodal mobility planning. This presentation is a summary of project experiences and describes the key findings.

A low cost method of real time pavement condition data sharing to expedite ma...UVision
A low cost method of real time pavement condition data sharing to expedite maintenance intervention
Pavements for roads in cities and highways are degraded with potholes, cracking, and rutting distresses. There is a strong need to identify these locations and sections with undesired longitudinal roughness quickly and accurately every year. Traditionally, expensive standalone survey vehicles for roughness measurements and more expensive multi-function vehicles are employed by highway agencies or through contract services, which most cities and local agencies can’t afford. The primary objective of this study is to describe a low cost method to collect essential pavement condition data and share real time to expedite maintenance intervention needs. This facilitates rapid identification of pavement sections with undesired longitudinal roughness and local defects. This paper discusses the impact of social media, crowd sourcing, and advances in cheaper accurate motion sensors and cloud server data processing. These tools make it possible to develop easy-to-use low cost methods, which are affordable by city public work and smaller road agencies.
This slide show includes an overview of the MTP process, baseline conditions, input of needs, project background, SS4A requirements, and status update.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
