  2. Meet The Team ODU CS410 Green Team

  3. People visiting unfamiliar areas must find parking and walking routes to their destination ODU CS410 Green Team

  4. “I don't think paper maps are going anywhere, But people may be using them differently, more as a companion to the online or digital map.” – Joel Minster, Chief Cartographer for Rand McNally, the largest mapmaker in the nation Quote Courtesy of San Francisco Chronicle ODU CS410 Green Team

  5. Maps Handed Out by AAA Per Year Maps in Millions Projected by San Francisco Chronicle Year Data Courtesy of San Francisco Chronicle ODU CS410 Green Team

  6. Case Study:Old Dominion University Joseph Conlin ODU CS410 Green Team

  7. Major Complaints • Cost of printing paper maps • Map can not be updated easily • Contracted out – very expensive • Difficulty finding items on the map • Cluttered 3D layout • Poorly organized • Map is static • does not inform people about changes and closures on campus • Does not include parking information • Closures • Special events • Zone changes Sources: ODU Director of Publications ODU Director of Parking and Transportation Services ODU CS410 Green Team

  8. Cost of Paper Maps • Primary Campus Map • Provided to the university cost free because of advertisements • Advertisements make the map cumbersome • Parking Services Map • 30,000 Copies per year • Cost: $23,000 • Mini Campus Map • $882 a year for 3500 copies • Less university publications are being printed to reduce costs. • Faculty and Staff handbook map • University course catalog Sources: ODU Director of Publications ODU Director of Parking and Transportation Services ODU CS410 Green Team

  10. The Current Way ODU CS410 Green Team

  11. A Better Way ODU CS410 Green Team

  12. Major Functional Components Diagram ODU CS410 Green Team

  13. Product Capabilities User Interface • Provide interactive maps • Deliver walking directions specific to the area • Items are searchable by address, building, or office • Provide information about building contents • Provide information about parking • Display special event information ODU CS410 Green Team

  14. Product Capabilities Admin Interface • Updating maps with buildings and streets • Point and click adding of walkways • Ability to change availability of parking lots • Add special events • Close walkways for construction or other impeding conditions ODU CS410 Green Team

  15. Custom Implementations Implementation unique to each customer site • Meet with customer and detail site’s specific requirements • Build site specific functionality • Build maps to customer specification • Train customer on product use

  16. Technical Discussion Sean Christe ODU CS410 Green Team

  17. High Level Architecture ODU CS410 Green Team

  18. Database Requirements • Each point of map data will be inserted into the database as a node and given a weight • Sets of nodes representing physical entities may be stored as structures • Nodes will be categorized into states and overlays • Complete sets of connected nodes may be stored as paths ODU CS410 Green Team

  19. Initial ERD ODU CS410 Green Team

  20. Data Access and Manipulation • All access to the database will be handled by an externalized set of stored procedures • External scripts will be used to perform the path-finding algorithm, compute the node weights, and manipulate the data in the database. ODU CS410 Green Team

  21. User Interface Requirements • The user will be able to search for and select nodes and DMS will display the selected node’s information • The user will be able to select multiple nodes and DMS will display the quickest route between them ODU CS410 Green Team

  22. User Interface Logic Example • User searches for the path between two locations ODU CS410 Green Team

  23. Admin User Interface Requirements • The admin user will be able to add and remove nodes • The admin user will be able to move nodes and edit node information • The admin user will be able to add a state or overlay to a group of selected nodes ODU CS410 Green Team

  24. Admin User Interface Logic Example • Admin user adds a new node ODU CS410 Green Team
