GIS (Geographic Information System)

• A computer technology that allows the user to
  analyze and display data relative to geographic
  location.

12
GIS at SEMCOG

• Capabilities are widely used throughout the
  region.
• Communities without GIS benefit from the SEMCOG
  partnership.
• Communities with the system take advantage of
  SEMCOGs wider vision, determining where and how
  they fit into the regional context.

Land Use Study

• 1995 was the last fully completed land use study.
• Currently, Macomb has three of the top ten
  fastest growing communities in the state,
  including the number one municipality.
• One of 28 recommendations for farmland
  preservation unanimously approved by the Macomb
  County Board.
• Studies are now requiring land use information at
  parcel level.

15
GIS making complex visual

• Establish a base year for land use at the parcel
  level.
• Determine rented and owned agricultural land.
• Determine parcels that could potentially be
  combined for placing large industrial complexes.
• Assess sights for future presentation or for
  planned unit or cluster development options.

16
Proposal for GIS

• The Macomb County Department of Planning and
  Economic Development should have their Community
  Development Services and the GIS and Graphic
  Services work together to create a map of the
  layout of all cable and fiber available in the
  county. This will help them determine areas in
  need of better coverage and future sights for
  development.

Surveying the Public

• Teilah Smith

29
No Data

• Macomb County did not have any survey data
  available at the present time.
• Because we were unable to view the survey that
  Macomb used the following is simply our
  recommendations of what they should ask Residents
  and Businesses in the area.

30
Residential Demographics

  household is online?

33
Residential Survey

  LinkMacomb Networks effort to bring high speed
  in your area?

  purchasing policy?

Regional ITS Architecture

• Josh Westcott

52
ITS Architecture

• ITS involves the use of computer and electronic
  technology to improve the safety and efficiency
  of our transportation system.
• Examples currently in use are the changeable
  freeway message signs, coordinated signal system
  of the Road Commission for Oakland County, and
  automated toll collection for commercial vehicles
  at the American and Canadian border crossings.

53
Future of ITS

• An essential next step in using ITS technology is
  linking the systems together so that information
  from one system can be passed along to another.
• The Regional ITS Architecture for Southeast
  Michigan is the blueprint providing for orderly,
  timely, and cost-efficient integration of ITS
  technologies over the next 20 years. It is also
  an overarching framework for discussing
  transportation needs and how these needs might be
  met by ITS.

54
Southeast Michigan Regional ITS Architecture

• a roadmap for transportation systems
  integration in Southeast Michigan over the next
  20 years.  The architecture was developed through
  a cooperative effort by the region's
  transportation agencies, covering all modes and
  all roads in Southeast Michigan.  It represents a
  shared vision of how each agencies' systems will
  work together in the future, sharing information
  and resources to provide a safer, more efficient,
  and more effective  transportation system for
  travelers in the region.

55
How its Supposed to Work
56
How it Works Right Now

• One of the first steps in developing an
  architecture is to identify the transportation
  services that are important to the region.  In
  Southeast Michigan, the National ITS Architecture
  Market Packages were reviewed, prioritized, and
  categorized as "Existing" (the service is already
  provided in the region by at least one
  stakeholder), "Planned" (the service will be
  provided in the future), or "Not Planned" (the
  service is not likely to be implemented in
  Southeast Michigan).  The following table lists
  each Market Package and its applicability to
  Southeast Michigan..
• SERVICES

57
Conclusions

• Implementation lacking.
• Hyped up with fancy documents.
• Will this really become a reality in the next 20
  years?
