How the Politics of Parking Can Defile a City
THE STAR -- Tolls may be an idea that some people and some cities are finally willing to debate, but free parking remains the blind spot in urban and transportation planning. Read More
 
Leading Climatologist Demystifies the Science of Global Warming
SANTA CRUZ SENTINEL -- When it comes to complex subjects like climate change, most of us rely on the consensus of experts to shape our opinion. But for the more skeptical, or just plain curious, there was climatologist Benjamin Santer at UC Santa Cruz this week to demystify the science that tells us the world is warming. Read More
 
New ‘MeGa’ Sensor to Monitor Carbon Dioxide
THAINDIAN NEWS -- A novel tube-like sensor would now make monitoring gas concentrations possible over a large area, both cheaply and effectively, doing the work of a number of existing sensors. Known as membrane-based gas sensors or ‘MeGa’, they are likely to be used in monitoring underground presence of carbon dioxide in gas pipelines or sewers. Read More
 
Mitigation in the Field: Flood Mapping the Yellowstone
7th Space -- Montana's Yellowstone River is the longest undammed river in the contiguous United States, and a treasured national waterway. While much of its habitat and flow has remained unchanged, spring runoff has produced periodic flooding in communities that dot the river's course.  Read More
 
Krakow Takes Poll Position as Poland's Technology Center
KRAKOW POST - Krakow is rapidly becoming an attractive place for international businesses to open or expand offices, especially technology and accounting companies. In fact, so many tech companies are moving in or adding facilities that some local officials are dubbing the Krakow area the tech capital of Poland.

Disneyland 2002
Mouse over this 2002 image to see Disneyland in 1980.
You do not have to be in the geospatial industry to be amazed at images of recognizable locations. Everyone is curious to see a satellite image of his or her home or other areas of interest. In addition, an increasing number of organizations are also realizing the value of imagery, when combined with other geospatial information and business data. Once a novelty, accessing an aerial or satellite image online is one of the many tangible benefits of the increasing development and integration of geospatial and web technologies.

Interview: GenerativeComponents Takes Architects and Engineers to New Possibilities
Written by Jeff Thurston   
thumb_bentley.jpgGenerativeComponents (GC) is a next generation product from Bentley Systems, Incorporated. The product enables architects and engineers to explore designs and geometry together in new ways. It enables 'what-if' scenarios to be explored either through geometry and or the relationship of building elements and forms dynamically. Vector1 Media editor Jeff Thurston met with Huw W. Roberts, global marketing director at Bentley while at the recent SmartGeometry Conference in Munich, Germany to conduct this interview.

Danish StreetMapper
Written by Graham Hunter   
ImageGeographical information systems (GIS) can offer tangible benefits for those charged with the management of our transport network. However, even with sophisticated spatial analysis tools, advanced display options and compatibility with other systems GIS is just another piece of software if proper consideration is not given to the data held and accessed by the system. Dr Graham Hunter, Managing Director of UK Based 3D Laser Mapping explores how the next generation of mobile mapping systems is being used to capture highly accurate, detailed records of the highway infrastructure and associated assets at speeds of up to 70 kmph.

Modeling Agricultural Risk
Written by Satya Priya   
India_Agriculture.jpgAccess to information and its timely analysis for better decision making and management is fulfilled today by information technologies in ways that were not effective or economical a decade ago. Geospatial technologies such as GIS and remote sensing provide computer-based decision tools for integrated modeling assessment. This can cover both spatial and non-spatial regional deterministic and probabilistic risk assessment frameworks for environmental change management.

Interview: Onuma Aims to Revolutionize Architecture with BIM
Written by Vector1Media   
Kimon_TN.jpgKimon Onuma is president and founder of Onuma, creators of the Onuma Planning System (OPS). This software tool is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) environment with web-enabled data sharing and knowledge management for the design, construction and management of infrastructure. The process advocates integrated decision making for better design quality and sustainable environments. V1 Magazine editor Matt Ball sat down with Kimon to discuss the evolution of BIM and the promise that the revolution holds.

Column: GIS and Technology Adoption Cycles
Written by Harold Schuch   
Schuch,Harold_TN.gifMuch has been written about the product adoption cycles of new technologies, such as the automobile, and more recently the cell phone, the Internet, and broadband.  The book “The Next Great Bubble Boom” by Harry S. Dent, Jr. uses standard “S-Curve” diagrams to map the status of a certain technologies.  This article extrapolates Mr. Dent's schema to map the status of GIS technologies while attempting to assess investment risks and benefits.
