Web-Based Image Log (Video Log)

Client: North Dakota Department of Transportation

NDDOT contracted GeoDecisions to plan, design, develop, and implement a Web-based video log viewer. The viewer enables NDDOT personnel to view images of North Dakota’s highway system. It contains street-level video and includes an online “motion” picture of the highway. Users can conduct field views or observe the exact location of a transportation project without having to perform an on-site inspection of the location.

The video log viewer is designed to be the foundation for NDDOT’s Web-enabled enterprise portal and will guide GIS-related application development during the next several years. Users will have the ability to query or select features on a map and launch a new video log viewer for that location. The enterprise portal will provide the foundation for users to select spatial features or locations on a map and link to future Web-enabled business applications. In addition, the technology used in the portal and viewer will have the ability to be expanded to meet NDDOT’s future GIS and information technology needs.

The video log viewer can save users precious time by identifying potential roadway problems instantaneously through the Web.
