Week 12 - Geocoding & ModelBuilder

GIS 4043 L

 

 

This week the lab focused on Geocoding and Modelbuilder.  The map above was created in the Geocoding part of the lab.  In it we were provided an excel document with locations of EMS facilities found in Lake County, Florida.  Using an identifier tool we were able to associate those locations with spatial locations based off the address.  Later we utilized this information to build routes based off of stops within a network.  Above is the map that I created showing two stop locations (essentially a pickup and drop-off location) and with GIS was able to compute the fastest/shortest route to the stops in sequence. 

 

We also worked seperately on an ESRI Exercise: Explore an existing model.  This exercise walked us through the building of a simple data model that automated tasks in GIS to spead up productivity and effeciency.
