Project Background

• Reduce1

• Risk• Cost

• Promote Awareness and Prevent Injury / Illness• Evaluate GIS based Tools

• “Real-time” data• FUN!!

Project Introduction

• Evaluate the use of ESRI’s GeoEvent Processor as a means for monitoring assets and to develop an effective weather alert system that provides targeted advanced warning of severe weather conditions to the organization.

• Examine two potential use cases- Static- Predictive

Objectives

Continuous Processingand Analysis

GeoEvent Processor

Project Introduction

• Extension for ArcGIS Server• A GeoEvent1 contains information about things that

happened and where they happened.• GeoEvent Services1 continually analyze GeoEvents and

route the results to the appropriate outputs

Project Introduction

• Filters1 check GeoEvents to see if they meet specified criteria

• Processors1 perform actions against GeoEvents• Calculate new fields: GeoTagger, Field Calculator• Modify a GeoEvent: Field Enricher, Field Reducer• Derive a new GeoEvent: Field Mapper, Incident Detector

• A GeoFence1 is a virtual boundary used to define areas of interest
