NEW TRENDS-----------------------GIS

Hi All,


We are back after a long time and herein I have brought for you to read the new trends

in the GIS Market. As we all know that India is registering strong growth despite global economic slowdown and it augers good for geospatial industry as well. The industry is unanimously positive about the growth of geospatial in the country as we see the increase in projects from the international market.



GIS has proven itself from our past experience in the utility as a being the tool for representing real-world conditions on digital/electronic media that remotely monitors and manipulates asset related data and quickly represents linkages and inter relationships between the assets. It not only visualizes the current demands and priorities but also effectively with a globally dispersed team.

GIS technology not only saves time but also allows several alternatives to carry out the task on hand quickly and cost effectively.

The latest trends coming up in the GIS market are:

Census 2011 will be a GIS-based DSS

Use of GIS in Olympic 2010

Use of GIS in Metro trains in Mumbai and Delhi

Use of GIS Disaster Management

I have a long list of these which will no doubt keep on increasing day by day as the GIS market will grow.

I will back with articles on all these trends,till then visit us @www.dimensionigis.com.

As I always say KEEP BLOGGING!

GIS:Report, Analyze, and Communicate

A geographic information system (GIS) combines layers of information about a place to give you a better understanding. GIS software provides the data model and tools needed to store, analyze, and display information that can be readily shared and understood.
GIS provides journalists with more effective tools to report the news and put it in context for readers. For media business executives, it manages the networks that facilitate subscriptions and distribution.
Using GIS as a reporting tool, you can provide readers and viewers with a simple map that gives your story context. Visit us for information about the geographic information system

GIS Mapping Services india

Here I want to explain the use of GIS mapping services in the big industry, becasue when any one make a big investment for the industry then it is one of the part of the society so the
major investments for an industry need to be made in society’s utility supply lines; Water mains, sewage systems, telephone lines, power lines, gas mains, etc. Often the geographic location is recorded on inferior quality maps and in some cases it is not documented at all means GIS Mapping.Certainty of supply, environmental protection and efficiency of operations, however, require good basic data. Excavation damage can be largely avoided when reliable information regarding location and description of pipelines is available. Repair and replacement of pipes can be carried out in the optimal manner when based on an efficient geographical information system.Additional advantages are achieved when the pipelines are captured in digital form, for instance providing:
Systematic data structuring.
Quick access to information
Simple comparison of data for different pipelines and topography
Flexible access to data retrieval and analysis.
Efficient updating.
Possible linkage to alpha-numeric databases e.g. consumer-
Information and statistics.
Mapping of transmission lines includes establishment, use and maintenance of an information system consisting of:- Location data i.e. geographic location of the utility transmission.- Attribute data i.e. technical and administrative data regarding transmission lines, e.g. component type, size, age and ownership.
The location should be surveyed and registered in relation to ground control points. It is thus possible to compare and present different types of transmission line data, base map data and other types of data such as information on cadastral ownership.
It has been proven that it is cost-effective to build up a uniform and systematized register of information on public utility transmission lines.
Over the years Dimension India has built up considerable expertise in data capture for utility mapping as well as interpreting and digitizing information on many types of transmission lines, e.g.:-
Water mains
Telephone lines
Sewers and discharge pipes
One of the advantages to a utility company, when employing a Consultant to carry out utility mapping, is that the bulk of work in connection with data capture can be carried out within a short period of time without staff increases or extra investments in equipment, thus easing the introduction of digital techniques.
