developers to directly parse WKT multipolygons into a custom-built
multipolygon object that can be directly displayed over Bing Maps
Silverlight Control.
• We also propose further developing this concept using Google Maps
and Java as Bing Maps does not have road maps for as many places
as Google Maps.
• We propose further development of the Regional Accident Database
project with geocoding—to find latitude and longitude from
SRIDs—and capabilities such as location awareness to automati-
cally select, as an example, all the accidents within a 5-mile radius
of a selected location to be fed to a traffic warning system. This case
study itself can be helpful to reduce road accidents.
• We propose added functionality to the system, such as having the
system automatically analyze the road accident data and display a
priority-based report that highlights the accident zones and tells us
which zone needs the most attention.
Glossary
Client:
This is a computer or device with an Internet connection and a
browser with the map plug-in (player) installed on it. For instance,
if the map plug-in is developed using Microsoft Silverlight, then the
Silverlight player needs to be installed on the client.
The Cloud:
Similar to Internet conventions, the capitalization of Cloud has
been used when referring to the holistic global interconnected infra-
structure as opposed to any specific generic infrastructure provided
by a certain entity.
Database Server:
Refers to the database services provided to the differ-
ent software components. The geospatial relational database of the
application resides on this server. It has to be underpinned by a pow-
erful hardware configuration as most of the geospatial data manipu-
lation will be performed here. In terms of software, the system can
have Oracle, SQL server, or SQL Azure as all of these DBMSs sup-
port geospatial databases.
Entity Framework Model:
Set of technologies in Microsoft .NET to develop
data-oriented software applications. It allows the creation of a logi-
cal view of the database according to the business logic of the system
and gives an abstracted view of the database to the application,
hence providing added security.
