The purpose of this project is to utilize state-of-the-art Java programming technology, mobile GIS application software (ArcPad 6.0, ArcIMS 4.0, and Image Web Server), global positional systems (GPS), and wireless networking technologies (IEEE 802.11b, Wi-Fi standard) to provide park rangers and other resource mangers with integrated mobile geospatial information services that will support and help optimize their field-based management tasks.
Natural habitat preserve managers and scientists can access the Internet map servers via their mobile devices, such as pocket PC’s, notebooks, or personal digital assistants (PDA’s) during their field trips. Monitoring and change detection of natural habitat areas can be accomplished in real time by integrating GPS, wireless communication, and Internet Mapping facilities.
Implementation
of tools for mobile GIS applications via wireless communications would
simultaneously provide several functions expressly desired by users:
- Provide
a working prototype for the development of mobile GIS solutions. This
prototype will be used to demonstrate the potential capability for field
workers, such as park rangers and other resource managers to access
and update geospatial information.
- Provide
wireless web-based mapping facilities for displaying remote-sensing
images and geo-spatial data for natural habitat management.
- Provide
managers with integrated GPS/GIS/remote-sensing capabilities to perform
critical real-time monitoring and analysis that is essential to tracking
habitat conditions and the status of preserves.
