In the year 2001 and 2002, MRF Geosystems successfully completed several web-based GIS projects for the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), including:
-
Web-based Student Pedestrian Safety Routing
-
Web-based School Enrolment Zone Redistricting
-
Web-based School Facility Management
-
Web-based GIS Editing
These projects are all based on MRF’s advanced SVG Map Server. The following are some screenshots and major tasks of these systems:
Web-based Student Pedestrian Safety Routing
The system allows the user to dynamically create student safety routes based on pedestrian safety factors for street crossings, and generate travel instructions of the route.
 
Major tasks:
-
Created and digitized street sidewalks and crossings from parcel maps and aerial photos
-
Built pedestrian network from sidewalks, crosswalks and assigned safety factors
-
Developed web user interfaces that display vector map and aerial photos, and allow the users to input addresses and select schools
-
Allows the user to obtain the recommended safety route from home to school and vise versa
-
Created instructions of the safety route
Web-based School Enrolment Zone Redistricting
Allows authorized users to change existing school enrolment zone boundaries efficiently from a web browser.
Major tasks:
-
Prepared redistricting data sets, including the geocoding of 720,000 student records to parcels and street centerlines
-
Developed flexible redistricting functions that allow authorized users to modify school enrolment zones based on blocks, parcels, and streets.
-
Displayed statistical information (number of students in each grade) of selected district
-
Updated server side school enrolment boundaries efficiently
Web-based School Facility Management
Major tasks:
-
Georeferenced engineering drawings of 800 schools to parcels
-
Extracted school sites, building footprints, playgrounds, parking lots, etc. from the georeferenced engineering drawings
-
Extracted building floor plans from the GDS system
-
Georeferenced building floor plans
-
Loaded data sets into PostgreSQL database
-
Built website for school facility inventory management
-
Allows user to display 360 degrees room pictures and room information
-
Allows user to display aerial photos
Web-based GIS Editing
The MRF web-based editor allows authorized users to check out a set of data from SVG Map Server, make modifications to the data (create new features, move vertices, move or delete features, etc.) and submit the results back to the server.
Major tasks of this project also include:
-
Create an error layer to record data errors that users may find
-
Allow the users to input comments to school programs through the map interface
-
Integrate MRF SVG Map Server with PostgreSQL database and PostGIS
